Alice is attempting to type a specific string on her computer. However, she tends to be clumsy and may press a key for too long, resulting in a character being typed multiple times.
Although Alice tried to focus on her typing, she is aware that she may still have done this at most once.
You are given a string word, which represents the final output displayed on Alice's screen.
Return the total number of possible original strings that Alice might have intended to type.
Example 1:
Input: word = "abbcccc"
Output: 5
Explanation:
The possible strings are: "abbcccc", "abbccc", "abbcc", "abbc", and "abcccc".
