Description

Given N numbers, X₁, X₂, ... , X_N, let us calculate the difference of every pair of numbers: ∣X_i - X_j∣ (1 ≤ i ＜ j ≤ N). We can get C(N,2) differences through this work, and now your task is to find the median of the differences as quickly as you can!

Note in this problem, the median is defined as the (m/2)-th  smallest number if m,the amount of the differences, is even. For example, you have to find the third smallest one in the case of m = 6.

Input

The input consists of several test cases.

In each test case, N will be given in the first line. Then N numbers are given, representing X₁, X₂, ... , X_N, ( X_i ≤ 1,000,000,000  3 ≤ N ≤ 1,00,000 )

Output

For each test case, output the median in a separate line.

Sample Input

题意

给你n个数，然后求它们两两相减的绝对值，然后找出这些绝对值的中中位数。 解题思路：

1. 先对n个数排序，那么最后的结果ans一定满足0<=ans<an-a1
2. 第二如何判断ans就是我们需要求的值能，我们用二分进行逼近。l=0，r=an-a1，mid=（l+r）/2；
3. 二分如何逼近呢，如何判断我们要求的答案ans是在[l,mid]还是在[mid,r]部分呢？
4. 很明显是原数组两个数相减的绝对值<mid个数，和>mid的个数进行比较。（绝对值的个数<mid,ans在[mid,r]区间，否则在[l,mid]区间内
5. 如何判段两数绝对值<mid的个数呢？
6. 如何求一个数减去a[0]的值小于mid的个数，我们找到一个a[i]>=a[0]+mid时最小的一个i，那么数组[0,i)值减去a[0],都小于mid，这样枚举i就可以求得两数相减差值小于mid的个数。
