#K38977. Minimum Campus Construction Cost
Minimum Campus Construction Cost
Minimum Campus Construction Cost
You are given an integer \( M \) representing the number of buildings and a list of \( M \) integers \( C_1, C_2, \ldots, C_M \) representing the cost to connect each building. The campus must be constructed such that all buildings are connected in a tree structure. In a tree with \( M \) nodes, there are exactly \( M - 1 \) connections.
For this problem, the minimum cost to construct the campus is defined as the sum of all the connection costs:
\( \text{cost} = \sum_{i=1}^{M} C_i \)
Your task is to compute and output this sum.
inputFormat
The input is given via standard input (stdin) in the following format:
- The first line contains an integer \( M \) representing the number of buildings.
- The second line contains \( M \) space-separated integers \( C_1, C_2, \ldots, C_M \), where each \( C_i \) represents the cost of connecting the \( i\)-th building.
outputFormat
Output a single integer on standard output (stdout), which is the minimum cost to construct the campus.
