findTotalSum In Python

findTotalSum In Python

Write a program to calculate and return the sum of absolute difference between the adjacent number in an array of positive integers from the position entered by the user.

Note : You are expected to write code in the findTotalSum function only which receive three positional arguments:

1st : number of elements in the array
2nd : array
3rd : position from where the sum is to be calculated

Example

Input
input 1 : 7
input 2 : 11 22 12 24 13 26 14
input 3 : 5

Output
25

def findTotalSum(n,numbers,pos):

    total = 0

    for i in range(pos-1,n-1):

        total+= abs(numbers[i]-numbers[i+1])

    return total

n = int(input())

numbers = list(map(int, input().split()))

pos = int(input())

print(findTotalSum(n,numbers,pos))
