Recall that in prokaryotic genomes, the sequence coding for a protein occurs as one contiguous open reading frame, and that an open reading frame begins with the start codon ATG (methionine) in most species and ends with a stop codon TAA, TAG, or TGA.

For example, the DNA sequence of Bacteriophage φ-X174, which was the first genome to be sequenced, has 117 open reading frames (11 of which are protein coding genes) within a circular single strand of 5,386 nucleotides.

Write code for the gene finding problem. The program must implement and use the GENE-FINDING function in the pseudocode discussed in class, which is iterative and is not allowed to perform input/output operations. Make one submission with Python code and another submission with C++ code.

Input

The input is a string s over the alphabet Σ={A,C,G,T}.

Output

The output is a minimal substring of s (an open reading frame) from a start codon to a stop codon.
