Description

Transmitting and memorizing information is a task that requires different coding systems for the best use of the available space. A well known system is that one where a number is associated to a character sequence. It is considered that the words are made only of small characters of the English alphabet a,b,c, ..., z (26 characters). From all these words we consider only those whose letters are in lexigraphical order (each character is smaller than the next character).

The coding system works like this:
• The words are arranged in the increasing order of their length.
• The words with the same length are arranged in lexicographical order (the order from the dictionary).
• We codify these words by their numbering, starting with a, as follows:
a - 1
b - 2
...
z - 26
ab - 27
...
az - 51
bc - 52
...
vwxyz - 83681
...

Specify for a given word if it can be codified according to this coding system. For the affirmative case specify its code.

Input

The only line contains a word. There are some constraints:
• The word is maximum 10 letters length
• The English alphabet has 26 characters.

Output

The output will contain the code of the given word, or 0 if the word can not be codified.

Sample Input

bf

Sample Output

55
