<p>Alice and Bob take turns playing a game, with <strong>Alice starting first</strong>.</p>



<p>There are <code>n</code> stones arranged in a row. On each player&#39;s turn, while the number of stones is <strong>more than one</strong>, they will do the following:</p>



<ol>

	<li>Choose an integer <code>x &gt; 1</code>, and <strong>remove</strong> the leftmost <code>x</code> stones from the row.</li>

	<li>Add the <strong>sum</strong> of the <strong>removed</strong> stones&#39; values to the player&#39;s score.</li>

	<li>Place a <strong>new stone</strong>, whose value is equal to that sum, on the left side of the row.</li>

</ol>



<p>The game stops when <strong>only</strong> <strong>one</strong> stone is left in the row.</p>



<p>The <strong>score difference</strong> between Alice and Bob is <code>(Alice&#39;s score - Bob&#39;s score)</code>. Alice&#39;s goal is to <strong>maximize</strong> the score difference, and Bob&#39;s goal is the <strong>minimize</strong> the score difference.</p>



<p>Given an integer array <code>stones</code> of length <code>n</code> where <code>stones[i]</code> represents the value of the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> stone <strong>from the left</strong>, return <em>the <strong>score difference</strong> between Alice and Bob if they both play <strong>optimally</strong>.</em></p>

<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>



<pre>

<strong>Input:</strong> stones = [-1,2,-3,4,-5]

<strong>Output:</strong> 5

<strong>Explanation:</strong>

- Alice removes the first 4 stones, adds (-1) + 2 + (-3) + 4 = 2 to her score, and places a stone of

  value 2 on the left. stones = [2,-5].

- Bob removes the first 2 stones, adds 2 + (-5) = -3 to his score, and places a stone of value -3 on

  the left. stones = [-3].

The difference between their scores is 2 - (-3) = 5.

</pre>



<p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p>



<pre>

<strong>Input:</strong> stones = [7,-6,5,10,5,-2,-6]

<strong>Output:</strong> 13

<strong>Explanation:</strong>

- Alice removes all stones, adds 7 + (-6) + 5 + 10 + 5 + (-2) + (-6) = 13 to her score, and places a

  stone of value 13 on the left. stones = [13].

The difference between their scores is 13 - 0 = 13.

</pre>



<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>



<pre>

<strong>Input:</strong> stones = [-10,-12]

<strong>Output:</strong> -22

<strong>Explanation:</strong>

- Alice can only make one move, which is to remove both stones. She adds (-10) + (-12) = -22 to her

  score and places a stone of value -22 on the left. stones = [-22].

The difference between their scores is (-22) - 0 = -22.
