Problem Statement

Snuke can change a string t of length N into a string t' of length N - 1 under the following rule:

For each i (1 ≤ i ≤ N - 1), the i-th character of t' must be either the i-th or (i + 1)-th character of t.

There is a string s consisting of lowercase English letters.
Snuke's objective is to apply the above operation to s repeatedly so that all the characters in s are the same.
Find the minimum necessary number of operations.

Constraints

1 ≤ |s| ≤ 100

s consists of lowercase English letters.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

s

Output

Print the minimum necessary number of operations to achieve the objective.

Sample Input 1

serval

Sample Output 1

3

One solution is: serval → srvvl → svvv → vvv.

Sample Input 2

jackal

Sample Output 2

2

One solution is: jackal → aacaa → aaaa.

Sample Input 3

zzz

Sample Output 3

0

All the characters in s are the same from the beginning.

Sample Input 4

whbrjpjyhsrywlqjxdbrbaomnw

Sample Output 4

8

In 8 operations, he can change s to rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define ll long long
#define rep(i,l,r)for(ll i=(l);i<(r);i++)
#define repp(i,l,r,k)for(ll i=(l);i<(r);i+=(k))
#define INF ((1LL<<62)-(1LL<<31))
#define max(p,q)((p)>(q)?(p):(q))
#define min(p,q)((p)<(q)?(p):(q))

char s[110];
ll ans=INF;
int main(){
	scanf("%s",s);
	ll n=strlen(s);
	rep(c,'a','z'+1){
		ll temp=0;
		ll pre=-1;

		for(ll i=0;i<n+1;i++)if(s[i]==c){
			temp=max(temp,i-pre-1);
