standard output

A colored stripe is represented by a horizontal row of n square cells, each cell is pained one of k colors. Your task is to repaint the minimum number of cells so that no two neighbouring cells are of the same color. You can use any color from 1 to k to repaint the cells.

Input

The first input line contains two integers n and k (1 ≤ n ≤ 5·10⁵; 2 ≤ k ≤ 26). The second line contains n uppercase English letters. Letter "A" stands for the first color, letter "B" stands for the second color and so on. The first k English letters may be used. Each letter represents the color of the corresponding cell of the stripe.

Output

Print a single integer — the required minimum number of repaintings. In the second line print any possible variant of the repainted stripe.

题意：给一个字符串，只有K个字符，从‘A’开始。问最少修改多少个字符（字符只能是从A开始的K个），可以使字符串相邻的字符都不相同。

题解：贪心。如果K大于2，直接修改偶数位上的字符即可。如果k==2，那么只有两种清楚ABAB....,BABAB.....，判断那种情况更优即可。

代码如下：（比赛时对于k==2的情况是用dp做的）
