Description

From beginning till end, this message has been waiting to be conveyed.

For a given unordered multiset of n lowercase English letters ("multi" means that a letter may appear more than once), we treat all letters as strings of length 1, and repeat the following operation n - 1 times:

  • Remove any two elements s and t from the set, and add their concatenation s + t to the set.

The cost of such operation is defined to be , where f(s, c) denotes the number of times character c appears in string s.

Given a non-negative integer k, construct any valid non-empty set of no more than 100 000 letters, such that the minimum accumulative cost of the whole process is exactly k. It can be shown that a solution always exists.

Input

The first and only line of input contains a non-negative integer k (0 ≤ k ≤ 100 000) — the required minimum cost.

Output

Output a non-empty string of no more than 100 000 lowercase English letters — any multiset satisfying the requirements, concatenated to be a string.

Note that the printed string doesn't need to be the final concatenated string. It only needs to represent an unordered multiset of letters.

Note

For the multiset {'a', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a', 'b'}, one of the ways to complete the process is as follows:

  • {"ab", "a", "b", "a", "b", "a", "b"}, with a cost of 0;
  • {"aba", "b", "a", "b", "a", "b"}, with a cost of 1;
  • {"abab", "a", "b", "a", "b"}, with a cost of 1;
  • {"abab", "ab", "a", "b"}, with a cost of 0;
  • {"abab", "aba", "b"}, with a cost of 1;
  • {"abab", "abab"}, with a cost of 1;
  • {"abababab"}, with a cost of 8.

The total cost is 12, and it can be proved to be the minimum cost of the process.

Solution

题意:很简单自己读。

稍加观察可以发现:给你n个a和n个b,那么以ababab...这样的顺序,一次只合并一个字母进去,最后得到的结果是最小的,并且这个结果很容易算出来。那么就可以递归解决了,如k=14时,先得到abababab,这里已经有了12,再得到cdcd,这里是2,加起来就是14了。写起来其实很简单,具体看代码,我写得略蠢。

也可以aaaaaabbb...这种构造,因为aaaaa...(n个)贡献的答案是n*(n-1)/2,同样可以用递归解决,当时没想到。。

10         cnt += now;
