2688.LCS Again

Time Limit: 1s Memory Limit: 256MB

You are given a string S of length n with each character being one of the first m lowercase English letters.

Calculate how many different strings T of length n composed from the first m lowercase English letters exist such that the length of LCS (longest common subsequence) between S and T is n-1.

Recall that LCS of two strings S and T is the longest string C such that C both in S and T as a subsequence.

Input Format(From the terminal/stdin)

The first line contains two numbers n and m denoting the length of string S and number of first English lowercase characters forming the character set for strings (1 \le n \le 100000, 2 \le m \le 26).

The second line contains string S.

Output Format(To the terminal/stdout)

Print the only line containing the answer.
