import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        String[] candies = {"Snickers", "Haribo", "Mars", "Nuts"};
        int[] sales = new int[candies.length];
        int lowest = 0;
        int highest = 0;
        int total = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < candies.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(candies[i] + " sales:");
            do {
                sales[i] = in.nextInt();
            } while (sales[i] < 0);
            if (sales[lowest] > sales[i]) {
                lowest = i;
            }
            if (sales[highest] < sales[i]) {
                highest = i;
            }
            total += sales[i];
        }
        System.out.println("Total: " + total + ", Lowest: " + candies[lowest] + " " + sales[lowest] +
                ", Highest: " + candies[highest] + " " + sales[highest]);
    }
