MUTDNA - DNA

no tags 

Biologists have discovered a strange DNA molecule, best described as a sequence of N characters from the set {A, B}. An unlikely sequence of mutations has resulted in a DNA strand consisting only of A's. Biologists found that very odd, so they began studying the mutations in greater detail.

They discovered two types of mutations. One type results in changing a single character of the sequence (A → B or B → A). The second type changes a whole prefix of the sequence, specifically replacing all characters in positions from 1 to K (for some K between 1 and N, inclusive) with the other character (A with B, B with A).

Compute the least possible number of mutations that could convert the starting molecule to its end state (containing only A characters). Mutations can occur in any order

Input

The first line of input contains the positive integer N (1 ≤ N ≤ 1 000 000), the length of the molecule.

The second line of input contains a string with N characters, with each character being either A or B. This string represents the starting state of the molecule.

Output

The first and only line of output must contain the required minimum number of mutations.

Example

Input 1:
4
ABBA

Output 1:
2
Input 2:
5
BBABB

Output 2:
2
Input 3:
12
AAABBBAAABBB

Output 3:
4

You can solve it also just analizing the sequence of A and B and incrementing when it encounter an A or a B and then you can take the minimum of them As and Bs

Can be solved using DP too...; )

please add more test cases
i m getting WA but couldn't find any such case

Nice problem! O(n) complexity and O(1) memory passes!

same algorithm gets TLE in python and accepted in 0.08s in C++ with no optimizations :/
