.remove(x)

This operation removes element from the set.
If element does not exist, it raises a KeyError.
The .remove(x) operation returns None.

Example

>>> s = set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> s.remove(5)
>>> print s
set([1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> print s.remove(4)
None
>>> print s
set([1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> s.remove(0)
KeyError: 0

.discard(x)

This operation also removes element from the set.
If element does not exist, it does not raise a KeyError.
The .discard(x) operation returns None.

Example

>>> s = set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> s.discard(5)
>>> print s
set([1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> print s.discard(4)
None
>>> print s
set([1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> s.discard(0)
>>> print s
set([1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9])

.pop()

This operation removes and return an arbitrary element from the set.
If there are no elements to remove, it raises a KeyError.

Example

>>> s = set([1])
>>> print s.pop()
1
>>> print s
set([])
>>> print s.pop()
KeyError: pop from an empty set

Task

You have a non-empty set , and you have to execute commands given in lines.

The commands will be pop, remove and discard.

The first line contains integer , the number of elements in the set .
The second line contains space separated elements of set . All of the elements are non-negative integers, less than or equal to 9.
The third line contains integer , the number of commands.
The next lines contains either pop, remove and/or discard commands followed by their associated value.

Constraints


Output Format

Print the sum of the elements of set on a single line.

pop
remove 9
discard 9
discard 8
remove 7
pop 
discard 6
remove 5
pop 
discard 5

Sample Output

4

Explanation

After completing these operations on the set, we get set. Hence, the sum is .

Note: Convert the elements of set s to integers while you are assigning them. To ensure the proper input of the set, we have added the first two lines of code to the editor.
