Approximating a Constant Range 

When Xellos was doing a practice course in university, he once had to measure the intensity of an effect that slowly approached equilibrium. A good way to determine the equilibrium intensity would be choosing a sufficiently large number of consecutive data points that seems as constant as possible and taking their average. Of course, with the usual sizes of data, it's nothing challenging — but why not make a similar programming contest problem while we're at it?

You're given a sequence of n data points a₁, ..., a_n. There aren't any big jumps between consecutive data points — for each 1 ≤ i < n, it's guaranteed that |a_i + 1 - a_i| ≤ 1.

A range [l, r] of data points is said to be almost constant if the difference between the largest and the smallest value in that range is at most 1. Formally, let M be the maximum and m the minimum value of a_i for l ≤ i ≤ r; the range [l, r] is almost constant if M - m ≤ 1.

Find the length of the longest almost constant range.

Input

The first line of the input contains a single integer n (2 ≤ n ≤ 100 000) — the number of data points.

The second line contains n integers a₁, a₂, ..., a_n (1 ≤ a_i ≤ 100 000).

Output

Print a single number — the maximum length of an almost constant range of the given sequence.

Examples

Input

5
1 2 3 3 2

Output

4

Input

11
5 4 5 5 6 7 8 8 8 7 6

Output

5

Note

In the first sample, the longest almost constant range is [2, 5]; its length (the number of data points in it) is 4.

In the second sample, there are three almost constant ranges of length 4: [1, 4], [6, 9] and [7, 10]; the only almost constant range of the maximum length 5 is [6, 10].

 

 

Title meaning: is to give you an array, the array to ensure that the difference before and after the two elements <= 1, and want you to find any two consecutive numbers differ by no more than a length of the longest string.

Topic Analysis: can have the following practices:

1.dp

2. Optimization of the length of the extended string

3.rmq practice

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
const int maxn=1e5+50;
int a[maxn],dp[maxn];
int main()
{
        int n;
        scanf("%d",&n);
        int ans=0;
        for(  int i=1; i<=n; i++ )
        {
              int x;
              scanf( "%d",&x );
              if(  dp[x-1]>dp[x+1] ) ans=max(  ans,i-max(  dp[x-2],dp[x+1] )  );
              else ans=max(  ans, i-max(dp[x+2],dp[x-1] ) );
              dp[x]=i;
        }
        printf( "%d\n",ans );
        return 0;
}

         the while (A [r] == One || A [r] == tWO) r ++; // fixing two elements to expand right l constant r 
        ANS = max (ANS, rl is an); // determine the length of 
        one = a [r- . 1 ]; tWO = A [R & lt]; // update the two elements of 
        L = R- . 1 ; // L update
