Ayush is studying for ninjatest which will be held after 'N' days, And to score good marks he has to study 'M' chapters and the ith chapter requires TIME[i] seconds to study. The day in Ayush’s world has 100^100 seconds. There are some rules that are followed by Ayush while studying.

1. He reads the chapter in a sequential order, i.e. he studies i+1th chapter only after he studies ith chapter.

2. If he starts some chapter on a particular day he completes it that day itself.

3. He wants to distribute his workload over 'N' days, so he wants to minimize the maximum amount of time he studies in a day.

Your task is to find out the minimal value of the maximum amount of time for which Ayush studies in a day, in order to complete all the 'M' chapters in no more than 'N' days.

For example

if Ayush want to study 6 chapters in 3 days and the time that each chapter requires is as follows:
Chapter 1 = 30
Chapter 2 = 20
Chapter 3 = 10
Chapter 4 = 40
Chapter 5 = 5
Chapter 6 = 45

Then he will study the chapters in the following order 

| day 1 : 1 , 2 | day 2 : 3 , 4 | day 3 : 5 , 6 |
Here we can see that he study chapters in sequential order and the maximum time to study on a day is 50, which is the minimum possible in this case.

You have been given two integers 'N' and 'D', Your task is to find the square root of the number 'N' with precision up to 'D' decimal places i.e. the difference between your answer and the correct answer should be less than 10 ^ (-D).

For example if N = 10 and D = 3, then your answer will be 3.162.

CIS - Cyber InfrastructureAmazonWalmart

Ninja started a gaming shop and for that shop, he is planning to make a new game ‘String Ka Khel’. In that game user is provided with ‘N’ number of strings and he has to find out the maximum length of strings he can form by joining these ‘N’ strings. For joining two strings there is a condition that two strings will only join if the last character of the first string is same as the last character of the second string. If the user will find out the correct answer he will be given Coding Ninja goodies by the Ninja.

So your task is to find the maximum length of string which can be formed by joining strings according to the given condition. If no such combination exists return ‘0’. Strings only contain the letter ‘B’ and ‘R’.

Example:

The string is ‘RR’, ‘RB’ so we can combine ‘RR’ and ‘RB’ as the last character of ‘RR’ i.e ‘R’ matches with the first character of ‘RB’. But we cant combine ‘RB’ and ‘RR’ as the last character of ‘RB’ i.e ‘B’ doesn't matches with the first character of ‘RR’ i.e ‘R’ so our answer is '4'.
