Gym 100917L Liesbeth and the String 规律&&胡搞

题目：

Description

standard input/output
Statements

Little Liesbeth likes to play with strings. Initially she got a string of length n, consisting of letters 'a' only.

Then Liesbeth performs next operations with the string:

• If the first letter of the string is 'a', then she adds to the end of the string "bc", and after that removes first two letters of the string.
• If the first letter of the string is 'b', then she adds to the end of the string 'a', and after that removes first two letters of the string.
• If the first letter of the string is 'c', then she adds to the end of the string 'aaa" and after that removes first two letters of the string.

Liesbeth stops when she has the string of length 1. For example, if n = 4, she needs 6 operations :

Liesbeth found that for some n number of operations is too big, and its hard to understand if the process is finite. So she asked You to write the program to help her.

Input

First line of the input contains one integer n (2 ≤ n ≤ 10⁶) — length of the initial string.

Output

Print one integer — number of operations needed to obtain string of length 1. If process is infinite, print  - 1 insteaSample Input

Input

4

Output

6

3

Output

24


题目大意：给出一个字符串（只含a）的初始长度,做一下变换，求得到字符串长度为1时的步骤数,变换如下：
1.字符串首字母为a时 字符串末尾加bc 并删除前2个字符
2.字符串首字母为b时 字符串末尾加a 并删除前2个字符
3.字符串首字母为c时 字符串末尾加aaa 并删除前2个字符

题目思路：找规律,
当字符串长度为偶数时：经过n/2步变为只含bc长度为n的形式，再经过n/2步变成只含a长度为n/2的形式
当字符串长度为奇数时：经过（n+1）/2 步变为含c+k（bc）形式长度为n的串，在经过（n+1）/2步变成只含a长度为n/2*3+2的串
