Lena is preparing for an important coding competition that is preceded by a number of sequential preliminary contests. Initially, her luck balance is 0. She believes in "saving luck", and wants to check her theory. Each contest is described by two integers, and :

  • is the amount of luck associated with a contest. If Lena wins the contest, her luck balance will decrease by ; if she loses it, her luck balance will increase by .
  • denotes the contest's importance rating. It's equal to if the contest is important, and it's equal to if it's unimportant.

If Lena loses no more than important contests, what is the maximum amount of luck she can have after competing in all the preliminary contests? This value may be negative.

Example 


Contest		L[i]	T[i]
1		5	1
2		1	1
3		4	0

If Lena loses all of the contests, her will be . Since she is allowed to lose important contests, and there are only important contests, she can lose all three contests to maximize her luck at .

If , she has to win at least of the important contests. She would choose to win the lowest value important contest worth . Her final luck will be .

Function Description

Complete the luckBalance function in the editor below.

luckBalance has the following parameter(s):

  • int k: the number of important contests Lena can lose
  • int contests[n][2]: a 2D array of integers where each contains two integers that represent the luck balance and importance of the contest

Returns

  • int: the maximum luck balance achievable

Input Format

The first line contains two space-separated integers and , the number of preliminary contests and the maximum number of important contests Lena can lose.
Each of the next lines contains two space-separated integers, and , the contest's luck balance and its importance rating.

Explanation

There are contests. Of these contests, are important and she cannot lose more than of them. Lena maximizes her luck if she wins the important contest (where ) and loses all of the other five contests for a total luck balance of .
