A. The New Year: Meeting Friends
time limit per test 1 second
memory limit per test 256 megabytes
input standard input
output standard output
There
are three friend living on the straight line Ox in
Lineland. The first friend lives at the point x1, the
second friend lives at the point x2, and
the third friend lives at the point x3.
They plan to celebrate the New Year together, so they need to meet at one
point. What is the minimum total distance they have to travel in order to meet
at some point and celebrate the New Year?
It's
guaranteed that the optimal answer is always integer.
Input
The
first line of the input contains three distinct integers x1, x2 and x3 (1 ≤ x1, x2, x3 ≤ 100) —
the coordinates of the houses of the first, the second and the third friends
respectively.
Output
Print
one integer — the minimum total distance the friends need to travel in
order to meet together.

input
30 20 10
output
20
Note
In
the first sample, friends should meet at the point 4.
Thus, the first friend has to travel the distance of 3 (from
the point 7 to the point 4), the second friend
also has to travel the distance of 3 (from the point 1 to
the point 4), while the third friend should not go anywhere because he
lives at the point 4.
