Problem:
Score : 300 points

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

In 8 operations, he can change s to rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Solution in Python (3.4.3) (judge verdict: Accepted)

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
rawS = input()
abc = []
for s in rawS:
    abc.append(s)

abc = set(abc)

answer = 100
for a in abc:
    tmp = 0
    score = 0
    for s in rawS:
        if a == s:
            score = max(score, tmp)
            tmp = 0
        else:
            tmp += 1
    score = max(score, tmp)
    answer = min(answer, score)

print(answer)
