You are given a string $S$ of length $N$ consisting of `X` and `Y`. You will choose $K$ characters at distinct positions in $S$ and change each of them: `X` becomes `Y` and `Y` becomes `X`. Find the maximum possible number of pairs of consecutive `Y`s in the resulting string. ## Constraints * $1 \leq N \leq 2 \times 10^5$ * $0 \leq K \leq N$ * $S$ is a string of length $N$ consisting of `X` and `Y`. ## Input The input is given from Standard Input in the following format: $N$ $K$ $S$ [samples]
Samples
Input #1
5 1
XYXYX
Output #1
2

You will choose one character.

*   If you choose the $1$\-st character, the resulting string is `YYXYX`, with one pair of consecutive `Y`s at positions $1, 2$.
*   If you choose the $2$\-nd character, the resulting string is `XXXYX`, with no pair of consecutive `Y`s.
*   If you choose the $3$\-rd character, the resulting string is `XYYYX`, with two pairs of consecutive `Y`s at positions $2, 3$ and $3, 4$.
*   If you choose the $4$\-th character, the resulting string is `XYXXX`, with no pair of consecutive `Y`s.
*   If you choose the $5$\-th character, the resulting string is `XYXYY`, with one pair of consecutive `Y`s at positions $4, 5$.

Thus, the sought maximum number is $2$.

It is optimal to choose the $1$\-st, $2$\-nd, $3$\-rd, and $5$\-th characters to get `YXYYY`, or choose the $1$\-st, $3$\-rd, $4$\-th, and $5$\-th characters to get `YYYXY`. Note that you may not choose a character at the same position multiple times.
