Nam is playing with a string on his computer. The string consists of n lowercase English letters. It is meaningless, so Nam decided to make the string more beautiful, that is to make it be a palindrome by using 4 arrow keys: left, right, up, down.
There is a cursor pointing at some symbol of the string. Suppose that cursor is at position i (1 ≤ i ≤ n, the string uses 1-based indexing) now. Left and right arrow keys are used to move cursor around the string. The string is cyclic, that means that when Nam presses left arrow key, the cursor will move to position i - 1 if i > 1 or to the end of the string (i. e. position n) otherwise. The same holds when he presses the right arrow key (if i = n, the cursor appears at the beginning of the string).
When Nam presses up arrow key, the letter which the text cursor is pointing to will change to the next letter in English alphabet (assuming that alphabet is also cyclic, i. e. after 'z' follows 'a'). The same holds when he presses the down arrow key.
Initially, the text cursor is at position p.
Because Nam has a lot homework to do, he wants to complete this as fast as possible. Can you help him by calculating the minimum number of arrow keys presses to make the string to be a palindrome?
The first line contains two space-separated integers n (1 ≤ n ≤ 105) and p (1 ≤ p ≤ n), the length of Nam's string and the initial position of the text cursor.
The next line contains n lowercase characters of Nam's string.
Print the minimum number of presses needed to change string into a palindrome.

A string is a palindrome if it reads the same forward or reversed.
In the sample test, initial Nam's string is: (cursor position is shown bold).
In optimal solution, Nam may do 6 following steps:
The result, , is now a palindrome.
题意:找寻一种最少的按键方式,使给定字符串变成回文字符串。
思路:首先对应字符的上下键是固定的,问题在于左右区间怎么选,我们不妨将字符串重复三遍,以便左右端点好计算,可以得知所确定的区间l到r一定是包含m位置的,然后我们可以先找到l0到m,使得覆盖所有需要去经过的点,然后让l0右移,同时r进行相应改变,这样就可以找到所有满足要求的l和r,然后这些区间取按键数最少的。
AC代码如下:

if(f==1)
{

k++;
vis[num[pos]]++;
}
else
{
vis[num[pos]]--;
if(vis[num[pos]]==0)
k--;
}
}
}

if(s[l]!=s[r])
{

num[l]=num[l+n]=num[l+2*n]=num[r]=num[r+n]=num[r+2*n]=ret;
