Description

Taro and Jiro will play the following game against each other.
Initially, they are given a sequence $a = (a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_N)$. Until aa becomes empty, the two players perform the following operation alternately, starting from Taro:
  • Remove the element at the beginning or the end of $a$. The player earns $x$ points, where $x$ is the removed element.
Let $X$ and $Y$ be Taro's and Jiro's total score at the end of the game, respectively. Taro tries to maximize $X - Y$, while Jiro tries to minimize $X - Y$.
Assuming that the two players play optimally, find the resulting value of $X - Y$.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
$N$
$a_1\ a_2\ \ldots\ a_N$

Output

Print the resulting value of $X - Y$, assuming that the two players play optimally.

Constraints

All values in input are integers.
$1 \leq N \leq 3000$
$1 \leq a_i \leq 10^9$

Sample 1 Input

4
10 80 90 30

Sample 1 Output

10
The game proceeds as follows when the two players play optimally (the element being removed is written bold):
  • Taro: (10, 80, 90, 30) → (10, 80, 90)
  • Jiro: (10, 80, 90) → (10, 80)
  • Taro: (10, 80) → (10)
  • Jiro: (10) → ()
Here, X = 30 + 80 = 110 and Y = 90 + 10 = 100.

Sample 2 Input

3
10 100 10

Sample 2 Output

-80
The game proceeds, for example, as follows when the two players play optimally:
  • Taro: (10, 100, 10) → (100, 10)
  • Jiro: (100, 10) → (10)
  • Taro: (10) → ()
Here, X = 10 + 10 = 20 and Y = 100.

The answer may not fit into a 32-bit integer type.

Sample 4 Input

6
4 2 9 7 1 5

Sample 4 Output

2
The game proceeds, for example, as follows when the two players play optimally:
  • Taro: (4, 2, 9, 7, 1, 5) → (4, 2, 9, 7, 1)
  • Jiro: (4, 2, 9, 7, 1) → (2, 9, 7, 1)
  • Taro: (2, 9, 7, 1) → (2, 9, 7)
  • Jiro: (2, 9, 7) → (2, 9)
  • Taro: (2, 9) → (2)
  • Jiro: (2) → ()
Here, X = 5 + 1 + 9 = 15 and Y = 4 + 7 + 2 = 13.
