CodeForces - 266A
There are n stones on the table in a row, each of them can be red, green or blue. Count the minimum number of stones to take from the table so that any two neighboring stones had different colors. Stones in a row are considered neighboring if there are no other stones between them.
Input
The first line contains integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 50) — the number of stones on the table.
The next line contains string s, which represents the colors of the stones. We’ll consider the stones in the row numbered from 1 to n from left to right. Then the i-th character s equals “R”, if the i-th stone is red, “G”, if it’s green and “B”, if it’s blue.
Output
Print a single integer — the answer to the problem.

问题简述:一行宝石,输入宝石个数以及颜色,输出至少取出多少宝石使得相邻宝石不同色。
问题分析:通过循环检查相邻宝石之间的颜色确定需要取出的宝石的个数。
程序说明:用字符串储存了宝石颜色,用ASCII码确定颜色是否相同。
