#C10192. Exciting Energy
Exciting Energy
Exciting Energy
Villagers exchange high-fives, and each high-five generates excitement energy. You are given an integer \(n\) (with \(n \geq 2\)) representing the number of villagers, and a sequence of \(n\) positive integers \(s_1, s_2, \dots, s_n\) representing the high-five strength of each villager. The total excitement energy is defined as:
\[ E = \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} s_i \times s_{i+1} \]
Your task is to compute \(E\) given the sequence of strengths.
inputFormat
The input is given from standard input (stdin) and consists of two lines:
- The first line contains a single integer \(n\) (\(n \geq 2\)), the number of villagers.
- The second line contains \(n\) space-separated integers \(s_1, s_2, \dots, s_n\), representing the high-five strengths of the villagers.
outputFormat
Output to standard output (stdout) a single integer, which is the total excitement energy calculated as \(E = \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} s_i \times s_{i+1}\).
