Description

Find the minimal average of any slice containing at least two elements.


A non-empty array A consisting of N integers is given. A pair of integers (P, Q), such that 0 ≤ P < Q < N, is called a slice of array A (notice that the slice contains at least two elements). The average of a slice (P, Q) is the sum of A[P] + A[P + 1] + ... + A[Q] divided by the length of the slice. To be precise, the average equals (A[P] + A[P + 1] + ... + A[Q]) / (Q − P + 1).

For example, array A such that:

A[0] = 4 
A[1] = 2 
A[2] = 2 
A[3] = 5 
A[4] = 1 
A[5] = 5 
A[6] = 8

contains the following example slices:

  • slice (1, 2), whose average is (2 + 2) / 2 = 2;
  • slice (3, 4), whose average is (5 + 1) / 2 = 3;
  • slice (1, 4), whose average is (2 + 2 + 5 + 1) / 4 = 2.5.

The goal is to find the starting position of a slice whose average is minimal.

given a non-empty array A consisting of N integers, returns the starting position of the slice with the minimal average. If there is more than one slice with a minimal average, you should return the smallest starting position of such a slice.


Input

Write an efficient algorithm for the following assumptions: 

N is an integer within the range [2..100,000]; 

each element of array A is an integer within the range [−10,000..10,000].

Output

returns the starting position of the slice with the minimal average. If there is more than one slice with a minimal average, you should return the smallest starting position of such a slice.
