Given is a string $S$ of length $N$.
Find the maximum length of a non-empty string that occurs twice or more in $S$ as contiguous substrings without overlapping.
More formally, find the maximum positive integer $len$ such that there exist integers $l_1$ and $l_2$ ( $1 \leq l_1, l_2 \leq N - len + 1$ ) that satisfy the following:
$l_1 + len \leq l_2$
$S[l_1+i] = S[l_2+i] (i = 0, 1, ..., len - 1)$
If there is no such integer $len$, print $0$.
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
$N$ $S$
Print the maximum length of a non-empty string that occurs twice or more in $S$ as contiguous substrings without overlapping. If there is no such non-empty string, print $0$ instead.

The strings satisfying the conditions are: a
, b
, ab
, and ba
. The maximum length among them is $2$, which is the answer.
Note that aba
occurs twice in $S$ as contiguous substrings, but there is no pair of integers $l_1$ and $l_2$ mentioned in the statement such that $l_1 + len \leq l_2$.
