  • k: an integer representing the zero-based index of the item Anna doesn't eat
  • b: the amount of money that Anna contributed to the bill

Input Format

The first line contains two space-separated integers  and , the number of items ordered and the -based index of the item that Anna did not eat.
The second line contains  space-separated integers  where .
The third line contains an integer, , the amount of money that Brian charged Anna for her share of the bill.
