standard output

You are given a sequence of n integers a1, a2, ..., an.

Determine a real number x such that the weakness of the sequence a1 - x, a2 - x, ..., an - x is as small as possible.

The weakness of a sequence is defined as the maximum value of the poorness over all segments (contiguous subsequences) of a sequence.

The poorness of a segment is defined as the absolute value of sum of the elements of segment.

Input

The first line contains one integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 200 000), the length of a sequence.

The second line contains n integers a1, a2, ..., an (|ai| ≤ 10 000).

Output

Output a real number denoting the minimum possible weakness of a1 - x, a2 - x, ..., an - x. Your answer will be considered correct if its relative or absolute error doesn't exceed 10 - 6.

Note

For the first case, the optimal value of x is 2 so the sequence becomes - 1, 0, 1 and the max poorness occurs at the segment "-1" or segment "1". The poorness value (answer) equals to 1 in this case.

For the second sample the optimal value of x is 2.5 so the sequence becomes - 1.5, - 0.5, 0.5, 1.5 and the max poorness occurs on segment "-1.5 -0.5" or "0.5 1.5". The poorness value (answer) equals to 2 in this case.

首先，理解为什么要用三分：

　　　　x越小(可为负)，连续序列最大和越大;

　　　　x越大，连续序列最小和的绝对值也越大；

所以，就会随x的递增，形成一个凹函数;

其次，求取连续序列最大和与连续序列最小和的绝对值：

　　　　求连续序列最大和:

　　　　设 b[i] = a[i] - x,sum(b[i]) = 连续序列中有 b[i] 的序列最大和;

　　　　若sum(b[j-1])<0,那么sum(b[j]) = max( b[j],b[j] + sum(b[j-1]) ),sum(b[j])必然等于b[j]，这时sum(b[j])只加自身为最优;

　　　　同理，求连续序列最小和，若sum(b[j-1]) > 0;sum(b[j]) = b[j];

至于卡精度的问题，我还是渣渣= =!，大神求教！
