Problem Statement
There are $N$ integers, $A_1, A_2, ..., A_N$, arranged in a row in this order.
You can perform the following operation on this integer sequence any number of times:
Operation: Choose an integer $i$ satisfying $1 \leq i \leq N-1$. Multiply both $A_i$ and $A_{i+1}$ by $-1$.
Let $B_1, B_2, ..., B_N$ be the integer sequence after your operations.
Find the maximum possible value of $B_1 + B_2 + ... + B_N$.
Constraints
- All values in input are integers.
- $2 \leq N \leq 10^5$
- $-10^9 \leq A_i \leq 10^9$
Input
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
$N$ $A_1$ $A_2$ $...$ $A_N$
Output
Print the maximum possible value of $B_1 + B_2 + ... + B_N$.
Sample Input 1
3 -10 5 -4
Sample Output 1
19
If we perform the operation as follows:
- Choose $1$ as $i$, which changes the sequence to $10, -5, -4$.
- Choose $2$ as $i$, which changes the sequence to $10, 5, 4$.
we have $B_1 = 10, B_2 = 5, B_3 = 4$. The sum here, $B_1 + B_2 + B_3 = 10 + 5 + 4 = 19$, is the maximum possible result.
Sample Input 2
5 10 -4 -8 -11 3
Sample Output 2
30
Sample Input 3

Sample Output 3
10000000000
The output may not fit into a $32$-bit integer type.
