Problem type

Roger, Jessica, and Victor held an impromptu math contest, where Roger promptly got third place (what did you expect?). The third place prize was the second-longest path in a weighted tree with N nodes. However, when he went to collect his prize, he felt as though he had been scammed. Thus, he hires you to write a program to print the length of this path so that he may file a formal complaint to the contest organizers.

Constraints

For all subtasks:

1 \le a_i, b_i \le N

1 \le c_i \le 10^5

Subtask 1 [20%]

3 \le N \le 1\,000

Subtask 2 [80%]

3 \le N \le 100\,000

Input Specification

The first line of input will contain N.
The next N-1 lines of input will contain 3 space-separated integers, a_i\ b_i\ c_i, indicating there exists an edge of weight c_i between nodes a_i and b_i.

Output Specification

A single integer, the length of the second-longest path in the tree.

    Since the original data were weak, a new test case was added to each subtask, and all submissions were rejudged.
