Problem Statement

In K-city, there are n streets running east-west, and m streets running north-south. Each street running east-west and each street running north-south cross each other. We will call the smallest area that is surrounded by four streets a block. How many blocks there are in K-city?

Constraints

2 ≤ n, m ≤ 100

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

n m
