Problem Statement

There are N slimes lining up from left to right. The colors of these slimes will be given as a string S of length N consisting of lowercase English letters. The i-th slime from the left has the color that corresponds to the i-th character of S.

Adjacent slimes with the same color will fuse into one larger slime without changing the color. If there were a slime adjacent to this group of slimes before fusion, that slime is now adjacent to the new larger slime.

Ultimately, how many slimes will be there?

Constraints

1 \leq N \leq 10^5

|S| = N

S consists of lowercase English letters.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N
S

Output

Print the final number of slimes.

Sample Input 1

10
aabbbbaaca

Sample Output 1

5

Ultimately, these slimes will fuse into abaca.

Sample Input 2

5
aaaaa

Sample Output 2

1

All the slimes will fuse into one.

Sample Input 3

20
xxzaffeeeeddfkkkkllq

Sample Output 3

10

Solution in Scala (2.11.7) (judge verdict: Accepted)

object Main {

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val sc = new java.util.Scanner(System.in)

    val _ = sc.nextLine()
    val S = sc.nextLine()

    def zip(zipped: List[Char], lst: List[Char]): List[Char] = {
      lst match {
        case Nil => zipped.reverse
        case h :: t =>
          zipped match {
            case Nil => zip(h :: Nil, t)
            case zh :: _ =>
              if (h == zh) {
                zip(zipped, t)
              } else {
                zip(h :: zipped, t)
              }
          }
      }
    }

    println(zip(Nil, S.toList).size)
  }
