We have n piles of apples, and we want to get them together.
Once a time we can combine two piles of apples with a and b apples seperately together, using a+b forces. We want to know the minimum forces we use to combine all piles of apples together.
Input:
apple(n,lst)
where lst contains n numbers representing the number of apples in each pile
