INPUT

The input is a single line containing space seperated integers.

OUTPUT

The output should be an integer.

Explanation

in the example the given prices are 7 1 5 3 6 4

buying stocks on day two having price 1 and selling them on the fifth day having price 6 would give the maximum profit which is 6 - 1

so the output should be 5.

7 1 5 3 6 4

sample output 1

5

sample input 2

1 11 13 21 19

sample output 2

20

Answer 1

prices = input().split(' ')
prices.reverse()

max = 0;
print(prices)
for i in range(len(prices)-1):
    for j in range(i+1, len(prices)):
        res = int(prices[i]) - int(prices[j])
        if res > max:
            max = res

print(max)
