Problem Statement

Given is a string S. Let T be the concatenation of K copies of S.
We can repeatedly perform the following operation: choose a character in T and replace it with a different character.
Find the minimum number of operations required to satisfy the following condition: any two adjacent characters in T are different.

Constraints

1 \leq |S| \leq 100

S consists of lowercase English letters.

1 \leq K \leq 10^9

K is an integer.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

S
K

Output

Print the minimum number of operations required.

Sample Input 1

issii
2

Sample Output 1

4

T is issiiissii. For example, we can rewrite it into ispiqisyhi, and now any two adjacent characters are different.

Sample Input 2

qq
81

Sample Output 2

81

Sample Input 3

cooooooooonteeeeeeeeeest
999993333

Sample Output 3

8999939997
