Description

Alpha and Beta are best friends and make company with each other all the time. 
There is a time when a game called “make pairs” gains much popularity. Alpha and Beta are very fond of it and like to invite you to play with them. 
Given a string, which is simply composed of either A or B, they want to know how many AB pairs can Alpha and Beta find in that string. Can you help them? 
A pair is legal if and only if A appears at first, and whether B is near to A is not required. In other words, B makes pair with A which is nearest before B, and they both can be used only once. 

Input

There are a series of strings. The length of each string is less than 1000.

Output

For each case, if there is none legal pair that they can find, print -1. Otherwise, print the number of them. 
Please note the output format. 

Sample Input

BA
AABB
BAB

Sample Output

Case #1: -1
Case #2: 2
Case #3: 1

题意：给定一个只含有A和B的字符串，问可以配对多少组A...B，若某A和某B配对以后则不可以再和别的B配对。

解法：因为要求A在B的前面，所以我们只需从头遍历一遍，找几个变量N记录A出现的次数，每出现一次A就让N自增一次，当出现B的时候，就判断一下前面有没有多余的A剩下，如果有那么消耗一个A，让N自减一次，然后答案ANS+1,如果没有A剩下了那么很遗憾，这个B就不能配对了。
