βœ…Maximum Force(Contest)

Maximum Force easy Time Limit: 2 sec Memory Limit: 128000 kB

Problem Statement :

Given an array A of size n, and an integer k. Find the maximum force by involving only k elements. The Force of an element is the square of its value.

Note: Elements are not needed to be continuous. Input The first line of the input contains two integers denoting n and k. The next line contains n integers denoting elements of the array.

Constraints: 1 < = k < = n < = 1000 -10^7 <= A[i] <= 10^7 Output Output the maximum force. Example Sample Input 1: 4 4 1 2 3 4

Sample Output 1: 30

Sample Input 2: 2 1 1 10

Sample Output 2: 100

Explanation: Force = 11 + 22 + 33 + 44 = 30
