Question adapted by Ibrahim Mesecan.

Connecting Wires

On random positions, there are n white dots and n black dots, equally spaced, in a line. You want to connect each white dot with some one black dot, with a minimum total length of "wire".


Total wire length above is 1 + 1 + 1 + 5 = 8.

Question:
Write a program that reads a number n. And then, it reads (n) strings ("Black" or "White"). Your program, in the end, must calculate and show the minimum length of the wire needed.

Input specification
The first line contains an integer (n) where 1 ≤ n ≤ 20000 and represents the number of "Black" and "White" dots. Then, in the following n lines, you will be given n strings.

Output specification
A single integer which shows the total minimum length of wire that is needed to connect all Black and White dots.
