Problem type

Mimi is playing with a dictionary when she gets a great idea! Throw random words together, give them a definition, and then make a problem about it!

For this problem, Mimi has decided to define a proper prefix palindrome of string $S$ ~S~ as a proper prefix of $S$ ~S~ which is also a palindrome. Given a string $S$ ~S~, find the length of the longest proper prefix palindrome which appears at least twice.

Constraints

Let $|S|$ ~|S|~ denote the length of string $S$ ~S~.

Subtask 1 [10%]

$1 \le |S| \le 100$ ~1 \le |S| \le 100~

Subtask 2 [20%]

$1 \le |S| \le 1\,000$ ~1 \le |S| \le 1\,000~

Subtask 3 [70%]

$1 \le |S| \le 10^5$ ~1 \le |S| \le 10^5~

Input Specification

The first and only line of input will contain a single string $S$ ~S~, consisting of only lowercase letters.

Output Specification

The length of the longest proper prefix palindrome which appears at least twice.

Sample Input 1

aaaa

Sample Output 1

Explanation for Sample Output 1

The longest proper prefix palindrome is aaa.

Sample Input 2

abab

Sample Output 2

Explanation for Sample Output 2

aba is indeed a proper prefix palindrome, but it does not appear twice.

is "proper prefix" any substring from S?

Any substring that is a prefix of S is a "proper prefix".

For example abcd is a proper prefix of abcdefg, but defg is not.

Furthermore, a proper prefix cannot be equal to the entire string nor can it be empty.
