Problem 3. Trapped in the Haybales (Gold)
Contest has ended.
Log in to allow submissions in analysis mode
Each bale $j$ has a size $S_j$ and a position $P_j$ giving its location along the one-dimensional road. Bessie the cow can move around freely along the road, even up to the position at which a bale is located, but she cannot cross through this position. As an exception, if she runs in the same direction for $D$ units of distance, she builds up enough speed to break through and permanently eliminate any hay bale of size strictly less than $D$. Of course, after doing this, she might open up more space to allow her to make a run at other hay bales, eliminating them as well.
Bessie can escape to freedom if she can eventually break through either the leftmost or rightmost hay bale. Please compute the total area of the road consisting of real-valued starting positions from which Bessie cannot escape.
INPUT FORMAT (file trapped.in):
The first line of input contains $N$. Each of the next $N$ lines describes a bale, and contains two integers giving its size and position, each in the range $1\ldots 10^9$. All positions are distinct.OUTPUT FORMAT (file trapped.out):
Print a single integer, giving the area of the road from which Bessie cannot escape.SAMPLE INPUT:
5 8 1 1 4 8 8 7 15 4 20
SAMPLE OUTPUT:
14
