【原题】

Background

The world-known gangster Vito Deadstone is moving to New York. He has a very big family there, all of them living in Lamafia Avenue. Since he will visit all his relatives very often, he is trying to find a house close to them.

Problem

Vito wants to minimize the total distance to all of them and has blackmailed you to write a program that solves his problem.

Input

The input consists of several test cases. The first line contains the number of test cases.

For each test case you will be given the integer number of relatives r ( 0 < r < 500) and the street numbers (also integers) where they live ( 0 < s_i < 30000 ). Note that several relatives could live in the same street number.

Output

For each test case your program must write the minimal sum of distances from the optimal Vito's house to each one of his relatives. The distance between two street numbers s _i and s _j is d _ij = | s _i - s _j |.

Sample Input

2
2 2 4
3 2 4 6

Sample Output

2
4

【题目大意】

一个黑社会老大要搬家到纽约的某一条街上，他在那条街上有很多的亲戚朋友，要找到一个地方，使得这个地方走到所有亲戚朋友家的总距离最短。

【分析与总结】

赤裸裸的找中位数就OK了...
