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.

Solution in Java8 (OpenJDK 1.8.0) (judge verdict: Accepted)

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
	public static void main(String[] args){
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        String s = sc.next();
        sc.close();

        int min = 101;

        for(int i='a'; i<='z'; i++){
            int l=0;
            int max = 0;
            for(int j=0; j<s.length(); j++){
                if((int)s.charAt(j) == i){
                    l = 0;
                }else{
                    l++;
                    if(l>max) max = l;
                }
            }
            if(max < min) min = max;
        }

        System.out.print(min);

    }
