You are given a string s
.
We define the mirror of a letter in the English alphabet as its corresponding letter when the alphabet is reversed. For example, the mirror of 'a'
is 'z'
, and the mirror of 'y'
is 'b'
.
Initially, all characters in the string s
are unmarked.
You start with a score of 0, and you perform the following process on the string s
:
i
, find the closest unmarked index j
such that j < i
and s[j]
is the mirror of s[i]
. Then, mark both indices i
and j
, and add the value i - j
to the total score.j
exists for the index i
, move on to the next index without making any changes.Return the total score at the end of the process.
Example 1:
Input: s = "aczzx"
Output: 5
Explanation:
i = 0
. There is no index j
that satisfies the conditions, so we skip.i = 1
. There is no index j
that satisfies the conditions, so we skip.i = 2
. The closest index j
that satisfies the conditions is j = 0
, so we mark both indices 0 and 2, and then add 2 - 0 = 2
to the score.i = 3
. There is no index j
that satisfies the conditions, so we skip.i = 4
. The closest index j
that satisfies the conditions is j = 1
, so we mark both indices 1 and 4, and then add 4 - 1 = 3
to the score.Example 2:
Input: s = "abcdef"
Output: 0
Explanation:
For each index i
, there is no index j
that satisfies the conditions.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 105
s
consists only of lowercase English letters.
