You are given a binary string s representing a train sequence of cars. A character $'1'$ signifies that the car contains illegal goods, while a character $'0'$ signifies that it does not.

You need to remove every car containing illegal goods. You may perform any of the following operations:

  • Remove a car from the left end of the sequence, taking 11 unit of time.

  • Remove a car from the right end of the sequence, taking 11 unit of time.

  • Remove a car from any position in the sequence, taking 22 units of time.

Return the minimum total time required to remove all cars containing illegal goods.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq s.length ≤2imes105\leq 2 imes 10^5

  • s[i] is either $'0'$ or $'1'$.
