Xsquare loves to play with arrays a lot. Today, he has an array A consisting of N distinct integers. He wants to perform following operation over his array A.
- Select a pair of consecutive integers say (Ai,Ai+1) for some 1 ≤ i < N. Replace the selected pair of integers with the max(Ai,Ai+1).
- Replace N with the new size of the array A.
- Above operation incurs a cost of rupees max(Ai,Ai+1) to Xsquare.
As we can see after N-1 such operations, there is only 1 element left. Xsquare wants to know the most optimal transformation strategy to reduce the given array A to only 1 element.
A transformation strategy is considered to be most optimal if it incurs minimum cost over all possible transformation strategies.
Input
First line of input contains a single integer T denoting the number of test cases. First line of each test case starts with an integer N denoting the size of the array A. Next line of input contains N space separated integers, where ith element denotes the value Ai.
Output
For each test case, print the minimum cost required for the transformation.
Constraints
1 ≤ T ≤ 105
2 ≤ N ≤ 105
1 ≤ Ai ≤ 109
sum of N over all test case does not exceed 5*105
Subtasks
- Subtask 1: 1 ≤ T ≤ 10 , 2 ≤ N ≤ 17 ( 20 % )
- Subtask 2: sum of N does not exceed 5*103 ( 30 % )
- Subtask 3: sum of N does not exceed 5*105 ( 50 % )
Warning :
Prefer to use printf / scanf instead of cin / cout .
Testcase 1 : 1. Initially A[] = {1,2,3}. During first operation, Xsquare selected A_1 and A_2. Cost of this operation is 2 i.e max(A_1,A_2) . 2. Now, A[]={2,3}. During second operation, Xsquare selected A_1 and A_2. Cost of this operation is 3 i.e max(A_1,A_2) . This way Xsquare manages to transform the given array with minimum cost i.e 5. Testcase 2 : 1. Initially A[] = {1,3,2}. During first operation, Xsquare selected A_1 and A_2. Cost of this operation is 3 i.e max(A_1,A_2) . 2. Now, A[]={3,2}. During second operation, Xsquare selected A_1 and A_2. Cost of this operation is 3 i.e max(A_1,A_2) . This way , Xsquare manages to transform the given array with minimum cost i.e 6.
