Nam is playing with a string on his computer. The string consists of n lowercase English letters. It is meaningless, so Nam decided to make the string more beautiful, that is to make it be a palindrome by using 4 arrow keys: left, right, up, down.
There is a cursor pointing at some symbol of the string. Suppose that cursor is at position i (1 ≤ i ≤ n, the string uses 1-based indexing) now. Left and right arrow keys are used to move cursor around the string. The string is cyclic, that means that when Nam presses left arrow key, the cursor will move to position i - 1 if i > 1 or to the end of the string (i. e. position n) otherwise. The same holds when he presses the right arrow key (if i = n, the cursor appears at the beginning of the string).
When Nam presses up arrow key, the letter which the text cursor is pointing to will change to the next letter in English alphabet (assuming that alphabet is also cyclic, i. e. after 'z' follows 'a'). The same holds when he presses the down arrow key.
Initially, the text cursor is at position p.
Because Nam has a lot homework to do, he wants to complete this as fast as possible. Can you help him by calculating the minimum number of arrow keys presses to make the string to be a palindrome?
The first line contains two space-separated integers n (1 ≤ n ≤ 105) and p (1 ≤ p ≤ n), the length of Nam's string and the initial position of the text cursor.
The next line contains n lowercase characters of Nam's string.
Print the minimum number of presses needed to change string into a palindrome.

A string is a palindrome if it reads the same forward or reversed.
In the sample test, initial Nam's string is:
(cursor position is shown bold).
In optimal solution, Nam may do 6 following steps:

The result,
, is now a palindrome.
此题一看就是贪心,我们只需要考虑一边就可以了,p在那一边就考虑那一边,因为字符变化所花费的代价是肯定的,所以只要考虑左右移动花费的代价就行了
