IOIPALIN - Palindrome 2000

A palindrome is a symmetrical string, that is, a string read identically from left to right as well as from right to left. You are to write a program which, given a string, determines the minimal number of characters to be inserted into the string in order to obtain a palindrome. As an example, by inserting 2 characters, the string "Ab3bd" can be transformed into a palindrome ("dAb3bAd" or "Adb3bdA"). However, inserting fewer than 2 characters does not produce a palindrome.

Input

The first line contains one integer: the length of the input string N, 3 ≤ N ≤ 5000. The second line contains one string with length N. The string is formed from uppercase letters from ‘A’ to ‘Z’, lowercase letters from ‘a’ to ‘z’ and digits from ‘0’ to ‘9’. Uppercase and lowercase letters are to be considered distinct.

Output

The first line contains one integer, which is the desired minimal number.

Example

Input:
5
Ab3bd

Output:
2

top down leads to TLE and bottom up works!! this is really weird -_-

@boris_dishov
min insertion required = n - (longest palindromic subsequence i.e. lcs of string 's' and reverse of string 's')
Here 'n' is length of string 's'

Similar to Aibohphobia problem

Hello, I see in the comments (and in the description as well) the LCS. I solved this with something I don't concider LCS (and it was bottom - up), and I am interested to know how it works with LCS if someone can tell me :)

I don't know why using macros gives TLE :( Removed macros got AC :)
