Input Format
The first line Take Input Value Of N
The second line Take Input N Space Separated Integer Value
Output Format
Two Space Separated Value ( One Maximum Sum And One Minimum Sum )
Constraints
- 0 < N < 100001
- 0 <= ai < 1013
SAMPLE INPUT
5
1 2 3 4 5
SAMPLE OUTPUT
10 14
Explanation
Our initial numbers are 1,2,3,4 and 5. We can calculate the following sums using four of the five integers:
- If we sum everything except 1, our sum is 2+3+4+5=14.
- If we sum everything except 2, our sum is 1+3+4+5=13.
- If we sum everything except 3, our sum is 1+2+4+5=12.
- If we sum everything except 4, our sum is 1+3+4+5=11.
- If we sum everything except 5, our sum is 1+2+3+4=10.
As you can see, the minimal sum is 1+2+3+4=10 and the maximal sum is 2+3+4+5=14. Thus, we print these minimal and maximal sums as two space-separated integers on a new line.
Solution in Python
n = int(input())
a = list(map(int,input().split()))
max_num = max(a)
min_num = min(a)
sum_tot = sum(a)
print(sum_tot-max_num, sum_tot-min_num)
Answer explanation
Max sum is given by total sum - smallest number
Min sum is given by total sum - maximum number
