You have been given a number of stairs. Initially, you are at the 0th stair, and you need to reach the Nth stair.


Each time, you can climb either one step or two steps.


You are supposed to return the number of distinct ways you can climb from the 0th step to the Nth step.

Note:

Note: Since the number of ways can be very large, return the answer modulo 1000000007.
Example :
N=3

Example

We can climb one step at a time i.e. {(0, 1) ,(1, 2),(2,3)} or we can climb the first two-step and then one step i.e. {(0,2),(1, 3)} or we can climb first one step and then two step i.e. {(0,1), (1,3)}.

You are given a string 'str' of length 'N'.


Your task is to return the longest palindromic substring. If there are multiple strings, return any.


A substring is a contiguous segment of a string.


For example :
str = "ababc"

The longest palindromic substring of "ababc" is "aba", since "aba" is a palindrome and it is the longest substring of length 3 which is a palindrome. 

There is another palindromic substring of length 3 is "bab". Since starting index of "aba" is less than "bab", so "aba" is the answer.
