I. Stick Lengthstime limit per test2.0 smemory limit per test256 megabytesinputstandard inputoutputstandard output
There are $$$n$$$ sticks with some lengths. Your task is to modify the sticks so that each stick has the same length.
You can either lengthen and shorten each stick. Both operations cost $$$x$$$ where $$$x$$$ is the difference between the new and original length.
What is the minimum total cost?
InputThe first input line contains an integer $$$n$$$: the number of sticks.
Then there are n integers: $$$p_1,p_2,\dots,p_n$$$: the lengths of the sticks.
Constraints:
- $$$1 \le n \le 2 \cdot 10^5$$$
- $$$1 \le p_i \le 10^9$$$
Print one integer: the minimum total cost.
