Time Limit:2000MS    Memory Limit:262144KB    64bit IO Format:%I64d & %I64u

Description

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.

解题思路:本题是经典是水题,只要看懂题目都能做。

题目意思:桌子上有一排石头,告诉你从左到右的石头的颜色(输入的字符串),要拿走一些石头,使桌子上相邻的石头颜色不同。给出左到右的石头的颜色,问你最少拿走多少个石头,使得排列满足题意。

输入数据后,直接从头到尾遍历即可,遇到后面紧跟的石头颜色和本石头颜色相同时,直接把石头拿走(记录个数),最后输出拿走的个数就可以了。


#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int n,i;
    char a[60];
    while(scanf("%d",&n)!=EOF)
    {
        scanf("%s",a);
        int j=0;
        for(i=0;i<n;i++)
            if(a[i]==a[i-1])  //后面紧跟的石头颜色和本石头颜色相同
                j++;
        printf("%d\n",j);
    }
    return 0;
}
