Problem Statement

There are N slimes lining up from left to right. The colors of these slimes will be given as a string S of length N consisting of lowercase English letters. The i-th slime from the left has the color that corresponds to the i-th character of S.

Adjacent slimes with the same color will fuse into one larger slime without changing the color. If there were a slime adjacent to this group of slimes before fusion, that slime is now adjacent to the new larger slime.

Ultimately, how many slimes will be there?

Constraints

1 \leq N \leq 10^5

|S| = N

S consists of lowercase English letters.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N
S

Output

Print the final number of slimes.

Sample Input 1

10
aabbbbaaca

Sample Output 1

5

Ultimately, these slimes will fuse into abaca.

Sample Input 2

5
aaaaa

Sample Output 2

1

All the slimes will fuse into one.

Sample Input 3

20

using System;

using System.Linq;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var N = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
        var str = Console.ReadLine();

        var strArray = str.ToCharArray();

        for(var i = 0; i < N - 1; i++)
        {
            if(strArray[i] == strArray[i + 1])
            {
                strArray[i] = 'X';
            }
        }

        var ans = strArray.Where(x => x != 'X')
            .Count();

        Console.WriteLine(ans);
    }
