B. Memory and Trident

Description

Memory is performing a walk on the two-dimensional plane, starting at the origin. He is given a string s with his directions for motion:

An 'L' indicates he should move one unit left.
An 'R' indicates he should move one unit right.
A 'U' indicates he should move one unit up.
A 'D' indicates he should move one unit down.

But now Memory wants to end at the origin. To do this, he has a special trident. This trident can replace any character in s with any of ‘L’, ‘R’, ‘U’, or ‘D’. However, because he doesn’t want to wear out the trident, he wants to make the minimum number of edits possible. Please tell Memory what is the minimum number of changes he needs to make to produce a string that, when walked, will end at the origin, or if there is no such string.

Input

The first and only line contains the string s (1 ≤ |s| ≤ 100 000) — the instructions Memory is given.

Output

If there is a string satisfying the conditions, output a single integer — the minimum number of edits required. In case it’s not possible to change the sequence in such a way that it will bring Memory to to the origin, output -1.

Sample Input

RRU

Sample Output

-1

Hint

题意

修改最少的字符,使得这个机器人走回原点

题解:

从整体考虑,只要是偶数长度,那么一定有解。

解就是L和R的绝对值+U和D的绝对值之差除以2,这个比较显然

代码

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int a[4];
int main()
{
    string s;
    cin>>s;
    for(int i=0;i<s.size();i++)
    {
        if(s[i]=='L')a[0]++;
        if(s[i]=='R')a[1]++;
        if(s[i]=='U')a[2]++;
        if(s[i]=='D')a[3]++;
    }
    if(s.size()%2)
    {
        printf("-1\n");
        return 0;
    }
    printf("%d\n",(abs(a[0]-a[1])+abs(a[2]-a[3]))/2);
}
