Palindrome

Description

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

Your program is to read from standard 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

Your program is to write to standard output. The first line contains one integer, which is the desired minimal number.

Sample Input

5
Ab3bd

Sample Output

2

### XTUOJ Perfect Palindrome Problem Analysis For the **Perfect Palindrome** problem on the XTUOJ platform, understanding palindromes and string manipulation algorithms plays a crucial role. A palindrome refers to a word, phrase, number, or other sequences of characters which reads the same backward as forward[^1]. The challenge typically involves checking whether a given string meets specific conditions to be considered a perfect palindrome. In many similar problems, preprocessing steps such as converting all letters into lowercase (or uppercase) can simplify subsequent checks by ensuring case insensitivity during comparison operations. Additionally, removing non-alphanumeric characters ensures that only relevant symbols participate in determining if the sequence forms a valid palindrome[^2]. To determine if a string is a perfect palindrome, one approach iterates from both ends towards the center while comparing corresponding elements until reaching the midpoint without encountering mismatches: ```python def is_perfect_palindrome(s): cleaned_string = ''.join(char.lower() for char in s if char.isalnum()) left_index = 0 right_index = len(cleaned_string) - 1 while left_index < right_index: if cleaned_string[left_index] != cleaned_string[right_index]: return False left_index += 1 right_index -= 1 return True ``` This function first creates `cleaned_string`, stripping away any irrelevant characters and normalizing cases. Then through iteration with two pointers moving inward simultaneously (`left_index` starting at position 0 and `right_index` initially set to the last index), comparisons occur between pairs of opposing positions within the processed input string. If every pair matches perfectly throughout this process, then the original string qualifies as a "perfect palindrome".
