Problem Description
When shopping on Long Street, Michael usually parks his car at some random location, and then walks to the stores he needs.
Can you help Michael choose a place to park which minimises the distance he needs to walk on his shopping round?
Long Street is a straight line, where all positions are integer.
You pay for parking in a specific slot, which is an integer position on Long Street. Michael does not want to pay for more than one parking though. He is very strong, and does not mind carrying all the bags around.

Input
The first line of input gives the number of test cases, 1 <= t <= 100. There are two lines for each test case. The first gives the number of stores Michael wants to visit, 1 <= n <= 20, and the second gives their n integer positions
on Long Street, 0 <= xi <= 99.
Output
Output for each test case a line with the minimal distance Michael must walk given optimal parking.
Sample Input
2 4 24 13 89 37 6 7 30 41 14 39 42
Sample Output
152 70

本文介绍了一个经典的计算机科学问题:如何选择最佳停车位置以最小化购物时的行走距离。问题设定在一个直线上分布着多个商店的长街,目标是最小化从停车点到各商店的总行走距离。文章提供了一个简单的C语言程序实现,该程序通过确定最小和最大商店位置来计算最远可能的步行距离。
