Score : 300 points

Problem Statement

You are given a grid of squares with H horizontal rows and W vertical columns, where each square is painted white or black.
HW characters from A_{11} to A_{HW} represent the colors of the squares.
A_{ij} is # if the square at the i-th row from the top and the j-th column from the left is black, and A_{ij} is . if that square is white.

We will repeatedly perform the following operation until all the squares are black:

Every white square that shares a side with a black square, becomes black.

Find the number of operations that will be performed.
The initial grid has at least one black square.

Constraints

1 \leq H,W \leq 1000

A_{ij} is # or ..

The given grid has at least one black square.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

H W
A_{11}A_{12}...A_{1W}
:
A_{H1}A_{H2}...A_{HW}

Output

Print the number of operations that will be performed.
