528. Bencoding
Time limit per test: 0.25 second(s)
Memory limit: 262144 kilobytes
input: standard
output: standard

Bencoding is a modern technique which is used for representing data structures as sequences of characters. It it capable of encoding strings, integers, lists and dictionaries as specified below:


every string s is encoded as "<k>:<s>", where "<s>" is the string itself and "<k>" is its length written with no leading zeros (with the exception of integer zero, which is always represented as "0"). Bencoding is capable of encoding empty strings, so s is allowed to be empty.

For example, "4:spam" represents the string "spam", "0:" represents an empty string.

every integer n is encoded as "i<n>e", where "<n>" is the number itself written with no leading zeros (with the exception of integer zero, which is always represented as "0"). Bencoding is capable of encoding very large integers, so n doesn't necessarily fit into any of the standard integer data types provided by programming languages. Only non-negative integers can be encoded using bencoding.

For example, "i1024e" represents the number 1024.

every list items containing n elements item0, item1,..., itemn-1 is encoded as "l<item0><item1> <itemn-1>e". Each item of the list itemi is a supported data structure encoded using bencoding technique. Lists are allowed to be empty.

For example, "li101el4:spami1024eee" represents the list "[ 101, [ "spam", 1024 ] ]".

every dictionary dict consisting of n keys key0, key1,..., keyn-1 mapped into n values value0, value1,..., valuen-1 correspondingly is encoded as "d<key0><value0><key1><value1> <keyn-1><valuen-1>e". All keys and values are supported data structures encoded using bencoding technique. A dictionary may have duplicate keys and/or values. Dictionaries are allowed to be empty.

For example, "d1:a0:1:pl1:b2:cdee" represents the dictionary with string key "a" mapped into an empty string "", and key "p" mapped into the list "[ "b", "cd" ]".


A character sequence c is called a  if the following two conditions are met:
c is a correct bencoded representation of a single string, integer, list or dictionary;
the number of characters in c doesn't exceed a given number m.


For example, when m=3, the sequence c="2:bc" is not considered a valid bencoded object even though it represents a correctly encoded string "bc".

Given m and c you have to write a program which should determine whether c is a . If c is not a , it also has to find the longest prefix of c which could be a prefix of some . Formally, you should find a maximal position j within the given character sequence c, such that a prefix of c up to, but not including, character at position j could be a prefix of some . If the given character sequence c is not a , but the entire sequence c is a prefix of some , then j is considered equal to the length of c.

Input
The first line of the input contains one integer m (2 ≤ m ≤ 109)  — the maximum possible length of a valid bencoded object. The second line contains a character sequence which you are to process. The sequence will only contain characters with ASCII codes from 33 to 127, inclusive. Its length will be between 1 and 106 characters.

Output
Print a single line containing word "ok" (without quotes) if the given input character sequence is a valid bencoded object. Otherwise, print message "Error at position j!". The first character of the input sequence is considered to have position "0".

Example(s)
sample input
sample output
14
li10e11:abcdefghijke
Error at position 6!

sample input
sample output
10
i-1e
Error at position 1!

sample input
sample output
3
i2
Error at position 2!

sample input
sample output
18
dli1eei1ei1eli1eee
ok



Note
In the first sample test the given sequence is not a valid bencoded object. But its prefix "li10e1" can be extended to a valid bencoded object while not exceeding 14 characters in length (for example, "li10e1:xe"). It's not the case with longer prefixes of length 7 and more, so j=6 in this case.

## 1. Abridged Problem Statement

Bencoding can encode four object types:

- **String**: `k:s`, where `k` is the string length, no leading zeros except `0`.
- **Integer**: `i<n>e`, where `n` is a non-negative integer, no leading zeros except `0`.
- **List**: `l<item1><item2>...e`
- **Dictionary**: `d<key1><value1><key2><value2>...e`

Lists and dictionaries may be empty. Dictionary keys and values can be any bencoded object.

Given:

- maximum allowed encoded length `m`,
- a character sequence `c`,

determine whether `c` is exactly one valid bencoded object of length at most `m`.

If yes, print:

```text
ok
```

Otherwise, find the maximum prefix length `j` such that `c[0:j]` can still be extended into some valid bencoded object whose total length is at most `m`, and print:

```text
Error at position j!
```

Positions are zero-based, and `j` is also the prefix length.

## 2. Key Observations

### Observation 1: We can parse left to right

We only need one scan over the input string.

While scanning, we maintain:

1. A stack of currently opened containers.
2. The current parsing state: are we reading an integer, a string length, a string body, or are we at an item boundary?

---

### Observation 2: Containers need state

Lists are simple: inside a list, we may either read another item or close the list with `e`.

Dictionaries are more complicated. A dictionary alternates between keys and values:

- expecting a key, or possibly closing with `e`,
- expecting a value, where closing with `e` is illegal.

So stack frames can be:

```text
LIST
DICT_K     dictionary expects next key or closing e
DICT_V     dictionary expects a value
```

---

### Observation 3: Syntax correctness is not enough

A prefix may be syntactically valid but already impossible to complete within length `m`.

Example:

```text
m = 3
c = 2:bc
```

The full string `2:bc` is syntactically a valid bencoded string, but its length is `4`, which exceeds `m`.

So after each consumed character, we must ask:

```text
Can the current prefix still be completed within m characters?
```

---

### Observation 4: We need minimum remaining length

For every valid prefix, compute the minimum number of extra characters needed to finish some valid object.

If:

```text
current_prefix_length + minimum_remaining_length > m
```

then this prefix can no longer be extended to a valid object within the length limit.

---

### Observation 5: Minimum completion can be maintained in O(1)

The smallest complete object has length `2`, for example:

```text
0:
le
de
```

For open containers, we maintain the sum of their future closing costs.

Define `g_cost(frame)` as the minimum cost to finish this container after the currently active item inside it is completed:

```text
g_cost(LIST)   = 1   close list with e
g_cost(DICT_K) = 3   after key, need shortest value 0: and closing e
g_cost(DICT_V) = 1   after value, can close dictionary with e
```

Maintain:

```text
g_sum = sum of g_cost(frame) over all open frames
```

Also define `f_cost(frame)` as the minimum cost to finish a container when we are currently at a clean boundary inside it:

```text
f_cost(LIST)   = 1   close list with e
f_cost(DICT_K) = 1   close dictionary with e
f_cost(DICT_V) = 3   need shortest value 0: and closing e
```

This allows calculating the minimum remaining length in constant time.

---

## 3. Full Solution Approach

We scan the input string from left to right.

### Parser states

We use four parsing states:

```text
NONE       currently at a boundary between objects
INT        currently reading an integer after i
STR_LEN    currently reading string length digits
STR_BODY   currently reading string body characters
```

For integers we track:

- number of digits read,
- whether the first digit was `0`.

For string lengths we track:

- parsed length,
- number of length digits read,
- whether the first digit was `0`.

For string body we track:

- how many body characters remain.

---

### Starting a new item

At an item boundary, valid starting characters are:

```text
i       starts integer
l       starts list
d       starts dictionary
0-9     starts string length
```

Any other character is invalid.

---

### Completing an item

Whenever a full item is completed:

- If there is no open container, then the root object is complete.
- If parent is `LIST`, nothing changes.
- If parent is `DICT_K`, then the dictionary now expects a value.
- If parent is `DICT_V`, then the dictionary now expects another key or closing `e`.

---

### Closing a container

At a boundary inside:

- `LIST`: `e` closes the list.
- `DICT_K`: `e` closes the dictionary.
- `DICT_V`: `e` is invalid because a value is required.

When a list or dictionary closes, that whole container becomes a completed item, so we call the same item-completion logic.

---

### Minimum remaining length

There are two main cases.

#### Case 1: At a clean boundary

If no root object has started yet:

```text
minimum_remaining = 2
```

because the shortest object is `0:`, `le`, or `de`.

If root is already complete:

```text
minimum_remaining = 0
```

If we are inside some container:

```text
minimum_remaining = f_cost(top_frame) + g_sum - g_cost(top_frame)
```

We finish the innermost frame from a boundary using `f_cost`, and all outer frames using their `g_cost`.

---

#### Case 2: In the middle of an atomic item

If reading an integer:

```text
if no digits yet:
    need one digit and e => 2
else:
    need e => 1
```

If reading string length:

```text
need ':' plus exactly length body characters
```

If reading string body:

```text
need remaining body characters
```

After finishing the current item, all open containers still need to be completed, so add `g_sum`.

---

### Tracking the answer

Let `j_max` be the largest feasible prefix length found so far.

After processing each character:

1. If syntax becomes invalid, stop.
2. Compute minimum remaining length.
3. If current length plus minimum remaining length exceeds `m`, stop.
4. Otherwise update `j_max`.

At the end:

- If the whole string was consumed and the root object is complete, print `ok`.
- Otherwise print the error at `j_max`.

Complexities:

```text
Time:  O(n)
Memory: O(n)
```

where `n` is the length of the input string.

};

void read() { cin >> m >> c; }

void solve() {
    // Single linear scan with a state machine. The state has two parts:
    //   frames   - stack of open containers, each LIST, DICT_K (boundary inside
    //              a dict, expecting next key item or 'e') or DICT_V (just saw
    //              a key, must read a value item next; 'e' not allowed)
    //   progress - what we're in the middle of parsing: NONE (at a clean
    //              boundary), INT (digits then 'e'), STR_LEN (digits then ':',
    //              accumulated length in str_val) or STR_BODY (str_val chars of
    //              raw body left to consume)
    //
    // To answer "can the prefix be completed within m chars?" we maintain
    // g_sum, the sum of per-frame g_cost values for all open frames. g_cost is
    // the cost to close a frame assuming whatever sits inside it will complete
    // on its own (just needs the trailing chars): 1 for LIST ('e'), 3 for
    // DICT_K ("0:" filler value + 'e'), 1 for DICT_V ('e' after the pending
    // value finishes). f_cost is the cost to close from a clean boundary
    // *inside* that frame, with no item lined up: 1 for LIST/DICT_K, 3 for
    // DICT_V (must add "0:" then 'e'). Then min_remaining is finish_cost +
    // g_sum when an item is in progress, or f_cost(top) + (g_sum -
    // g_cost(top)) at a clean boundary. Special case: empty stack and no item
    // started yet needs 2 chars for the smallest object.
    //
    // A prefix length j is feasible iff parsing c[0..j-1] never violated a rule
    // and j + min_remaining <= m; we track the largest such j, and print "ok"
    // only when the whole string parsed and the root object closed.
