P17381 [PacNW 2025] Closest Equal Pair

Description

Shima has opened an art museum! Its best-known exhibit contains $n$ nanoblobs of various colors arranged in a row. The gap between every pair of adjacent nanoblobs is exactly $10^9$ nanometers, or $1$ meter. One day, museum reviewer Jerry visits the exhibit. He begins by taking pictures under the following rules: - If two nanoblobs appear in a picture, every nanoblob between them also appears in that picture. - No two pictures contain exactly the same collection of nanoblobs. - Jerry cannot take another picture without violating one of the previous two rules. Jerry then scores every picture. If all nanoblobs in a picture have distinct colors, its score is $0$. Otherwise, he considers every pair of equally colored nanoblobs, finds the closest such pair, and assigns the picture a score equal to their distance in meters. Compute the sum of the scores of all Jerry's pictures.

Input Format

The first line contains an integer $n$ ($1\le n\le4\cdot10^5$), the number of nanoblobs. The second line contains $n$ integers $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n$ ($1\le a_i\le n$), the colors of the nanoblobs from left to right.

Output Format

Output the sum of the scores of all pictures.
