[IOI 1993 / USACO1.1] Broken Necklace

题目描述

You have a necklace of NN red, white, or blue beads (3N3503 \le N \le 350), some of which are red, others blue, and others white, arranged at random. Here are two examples for n=29n=29.

The beads considered first and second in the text that follows have been marked in the picture.

The configuration in Figure A may be represented as a string of b's and r's, where b represents a blue bead and r represents a red one, as follows:

brbrrrbbbrrrrrbrrbbrbbbbrrrrb

Suppose you are to break the necklace at some point, lay it out straight, and then collect beads of the same color from one end until you reach a bead of a different color, and do the same for the other end. The two ends might not be of the same color as the beads collected before this.

Determine the point where the necklace should be broken so that the most number of beads can be collected. No bead can be collected more than once.

Example

For example, for the necklace in Figure A, 88 beads can be collected, with the breaking point either between bead 99 and bead 1010 or else between bead 2424 and bead 2525.

In some necklaces, white beads had been included as shown in Figure B above. When collecting beads, a white bead that is encountered may be treated as either red or blue and then painted with the desired color. The string that represents this configuration can include any of the three symbols r, b and w.

Write a program to determine the largest number of beads that can be collected from a supplied necklace.

输入格式

  • Line 1: NN, the number of beads.
  • Line 2: a string of NN characters, each of which is r, b, or w.

输出格式

A single line containing the maximum number of beads that can be collected from the supplied necklace.

Output Explanation

Consider two copies of the beads (kind of like being able to run around the ends). The string of 1111 is marked.
