ABCPATH - ABC Path

You will be given a 2-dimensional grid of letters. Find the length of the longest path of consecutive letters, starting at 'A'. Paths can step from one letter in the grid to any adjacent letter (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).

For example, in the following grid, there are several paths from 'A' to 'D', but none from 'A' to 'E':

ABC

One such path is:

path

Input

Each test case will start with a line contains two integers H, W the height and width of the grid respectively 1 <= H, W <= 50. Then H lines follow each of W uppercase letters only. Input terminates with H = 0 and W = 0.

Output

For each test case print “Case C: X” without quotes where C is the case number starting with 1 and X is the solution.

Example

Sample Input:
4 3
ABE
CFG
BDH
ABC
0 0

Sample Output:
Case 1: 4

m getting a tle...used dfs..can anyone help?

be careful while printing output "Case : " .A single space character costed me two WAs :(
its a simple dfs problem .

Both BFS and DFS works!

Dude i am so mad right now :( i thought that you dont have to traverse back and upwards -_-

be careful of garbage values if you are using 1 based indexing..costed me 3 wa :(

@andyy143: your code output give so much blank space firstly you have to check your code on some input on some offline ide then you saw it show so much blank space. Remove these bugs then your code definitely accepted.
