Transmitting and memorizing information is a task that requires different coding systems for the best use of the available space. A well known system is that one where a number is associated to a character sequence. It is considered that the words are made only of small characters of the English alphabet a,b,c, ..., z (26 characters). From all these words we consider only those whose letters are in lexigraphical order (each character is smaller than the next character). 

The coding system works like this: 
? The words are arranged in the increasing order of their length. 
? The words with the same length are arranged in lexicographical order (the order from the dictionary). 
? We codify these words by their numbering, starting with a, as follows: 
a - 1 
b - 2 
... 
z - 26 
ab - 27 
... 
az - 51 
bc - 52 
... 
vwxyz - 83681 
... 

Specify for a given word if it can be codified according to this coding system. For the affirmative case specify its code. 

The only line contains a word. There are some constraints: 
? The word is maximum 10 letters length 
? The English alphabet has 26 characters. 

The output will contain the code of the given word, or 0 if the word can not be codified.
