import java.util.*;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        // write your code here

        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        int n = sc.nextInt();

        int[] A = new int[n];

        for(int i=0;i<n;i++)

            A[i] = sc.nextInt();

       

        int msf = A[0], profit = 0;

        for(int i=1;i<n;i++){

            if(A[i]<msf){

                msf = A[i];

            }

            profit = Math.max(profit,A[i]-msf);

        }

        

        System.out.println(profit);
