There is only one character 'A' on the screen of a notepad. You can perform one of two operations on this notepad for each step:

  • Copy All: You can copy all the characters present on the screen (a partial copy is not allowed).
  • Paste: You can paste the characters which are copied last time.

Given an integer n, return the minimum number of operations to get the character 'A' exactly n times on the screen.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 3
Output: 3

In step 1, we use Copy All operation.
In step 2, we use Paste operation to get 'AA'.
In step 3, we use Paste operation to get 'AAA'.
