样例说明
Example 1: the three a are at indices 1, 3, 5; the leading segment has length 1 and the two gaps have length 2, so the answer is 2. Example 2: in the first second, the first three a are deleted simultaneously by their right neighbors, leaving only one, so the answer is 1. Example 3: there is no a and no deletion happens, so the answer is 0.
