Note:
1. Palindrome: A string is called a palindrome if you reverse the string yet the order of letters remains the same. For example, MADAM.
2. Fake Palindrome: A string is called as a fake palindrome if any of its permutations is a palindrome. For example, AAC is fake palindrome, but ACD is not.
3. Sub-string: A sub-string is a contiguous sequence (non-empty) of characters within a string.
4. Two sub-strings are considered same if their starting indices and ending indices are equal.
Input Format:
First line contains a string S
Output Format:
Print a single integer (number of fake palindrome sub-strings).
Constraints:
1 <= |S| <= 2 * 105
The string will contain only Upper case 'A' to 'Z'
Sample Input 1:
ABAB
Sample Output 1:
7
Explanation:
The fake palindrome for the string ABAB are A, B, A, B, ABA, BAB, ABAB.
Sample Input 2:
AAA
Sample output 2:
6
Explanation:
The fake palindrome for the string AAA are A, A, A, AA, AA, AAA
