You really like playing games with your friend. You are currently playing a game where each player is given $n$ tiles with numbers on them. Each player then places the tiles down such that they form a sequence. Let $a_ j$ denote the number on the $j$-th tile in the sequence, for $j=1, 2, \dotsc , n$. The score of the sequence is then computed by adding up the squares of differences of adjacent tiles, that is
\[ \sum _{j = 1}^{n - 1} (a_ j - a_{j + 1})^2. \]The player with the lowest score wins.
Input
The first line of the input is an integer $n$, the number of tiles you have, where $1 \leq n \leq 10^6$. The next line consists of $n$ integers each being at least one, but not larger than $10^6$.
Output
The only line of the output should contain one integer, the lowest score you can achieve by arranging your tiles optimally.
