Problem Statement

We have a board with H horizontal rows and W vertical columns of squares.
There is a bishop at the top-left square on this board.
How many squares can this bishop reach by zero or more movements?

Here the bishop can only move diagonally.
More formally, the bishop can move from the square at the r_1-th row (from the top) and the c_1-th column (from the left) to the square at the r_2-th row and the c_2-th column if and only if exactly one of the following holds:

r_1 + c_1 = r_2 + c_2

r_1 - c_1 = r_2 - c_2

For example, in the following figure, the bishop can move to any of the red squares in one move:

Constraints

1 \leq H, W \leq 10^9

All values in input are integers.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

H \ W
