Problem Statement

Find the maximum possible sum of the digits (in base 10) of a positive integer not greater than N.

Constraints

1\leq N \leq 10^{16}

N is an integer.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N

Output

Print the maximum possible sum of the digits (in base 10) of a positive integer not greater than N.

Sample Input 1

100

Sample Output 1

18

For example, the sum of the digits in 99 is 18, which turns out to be the maximum value.

Sample Input 2

9995

Sample Output 2

35

For example, the sum of the digits in 9989 is 35, which turns out to be the maximum value.

Sample Input 3

3141592653589793

Sample Output 3

137

Solution in Python (3.8.2) (judge verdict: Accepted)

N = list(map(int, input()))
nines = []
total = sum(N)
nines.append(total)

for i in range(1, len(N)):
    N[-i] = 9
    N[-i-1] -= 1
    nines.append(sum(N))

print(max(nines))
