Card Passing Time Calculation
Card Passing Time Calculation
You are given N children in a line and a card that needs to be passed from the last child to the first child. Each pass takes T seconds. Although you are provided with the positions of the children, the calculation does not depend on their positions. The total time required for the card to reach the first child is calculated as:
\(\text{Total Time} = (N - 1) \times T\)
For example, if there are 5 children and each pass takes 2 seconds, the total time required is \( (5 - 1) \times 2 = 8 \) seconds.
inputFormat
The input is read from stdin and consists of three parts:
- The first line contains an integer \(N\) representing the number of children.
- The second line contains \(N\) space-separated integers representing the positions of the children (this data is not used in the calculation).
- The third line contains an integer \(T\) representing the time (in seconds) each pass takes.
outputFormat
Output a single integer to stdout which is the total time required for the card to reach the first child, calculated by \((N - 1) \times T\).
