New Year is coming, and Jaehyun decided to read many books during 2015, unlike this year. He has n books numbered by integers from 1 to n. The weight of the i-th (1 ≤ i ≤ n) book is wi.

As Jaehyun's house is not large enough to have a bookshelf, he keeps the n books by stacking them vertically. When he wants to read a certain book x, he follows the steps described below.

  1. He lifts all the books above book x.
  2. He pushes book x out of the stack.
  3. He puts down the lifted books without changing their order.
  4. After reading book x, he puts book x on the top of the stack.

He decided to read books for m days. In the j-th (1 ≤ j ≤ m) day, he will read the book that is numbered with integer bj (1 ≤ bj ≤ n). To read the book, he has to use the process described in the paragraph above. It is possible that he decides to re-read the same book several times.

After making this plan, he realized that the total weight of books he should lift during m days would be too heavy. So, he decided to change the order of the stacked books before the New Year comes, and minimize the total weight. You may assume that books can be stacked in any possible order. Note that book that he is going to read on certain step isn't considered as lifted on that step. Can you help him?

Input

The first line contains two space-separated integers n (2 ≤ n ≤ 500) and m (1 ≤ m ≤ 1000) — the number of books, and the number of days for which Jaehyun would read books.

The second line contains n space-separated integers w1, w2, ..., wn (1 ≤ wi ≤ 100) — the weight of each book.

The third line contains m space separated integers b1, b2, ..., bm (1 ≤ bj ≤ n) — the order of books that he would read. Note that he can read the same book more than once.

Output

Print the minimum total weight of books he should lift, which can be achieved by rearranging the order of stacked books.

Here's a picture depicting the example. Each vertical column presents the stacked books.


 解题思路:每看过一本书都会把书放在最上面,所以不管重复看某一本书多少遍,看过一次后它的位置就确定了

我们能做的就是把看一次之前的顺序排好,使其最优。

那就是按照看的顺序来放。


代码:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

int wi[505];
int vi[505];
int order[505];
int read[1005];
int main()
{
	int n,m;
	int sum;
	while(~scanf("%d%d",&n,&m))
	{
		memset(vi,0,sizeof(vi));
		sum=0;
		for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
			scanf("%d",&wi[i]);
		int index=0;
		for(int i=0;i<m;i++)
		{
			scanf("%d",&read[i]);
			if(!vi[read[i]])
			{
				order[index++]=read[i];
				vi[read[i]]=1;
			}
		}
		for(int i=0;i<m;i++)
		{
			int j=0;
			for(;read[i]!=order[j];j++)
			{
				sum+=wi[order[j]-1];
			}
			for(int k=j;k>0;k--)
				order[k]=order[k-1];
			order[0]=read[i];
		}
		printf("%d\n",sum);
	}
	
	return 0;
}



### Codeforces Problem 976C Solution in Python For solving problem 976C on Codeforces using Python, efficiency becomes a critical factor due to strict time limits aimed at distinguishing between efficient and less efficient solutions[^1]. Given these constraints, it is advisable to focus on optimizing algorithms and choosing appropriate data structures. The provided code snippet offers insight into handling string manipulation problems efficiently by customizing comparison logic for sorting elements based on specific criteria[^2]. However, for addressing problem 976C specifically, which involves determining the winner ('A' or 'B') based on frequency counts within given inputs, one can adapt similar principles of optimization but tailored towards counting occurrences directly as shown below: ```python from collections import Counter def determine_winner(): for _ in range(int(input())): count_map = Counter(input().strip()) result = "A" if count_map['A'] > count_map['B'] else "B" print(result) determine_winner() ``` This approach leverages `Counter` from Python’s built-in `collections` module to quickly tally up instances of 'A' versus 'B'. By iterating over multiple test cases through a loop defined by user input, this method ensures that comparisons are made accurately while maintaining performance standards required under tight computational resources[^3]. To further enhance execution speed when working with Python, consider submitting codes via platforms like PyPy instead of traditional interpreters whenever possible since they offer better runtime efficiencies especially important during competitive programming contests where milliseconds matter significantly.
