problem_description: Statement
  
  AtCoDeer the deer and his friend TopCoDeer is playing a game. The game
  consists of N turns. In each turn, each player plays one of the two _gestures_
  , _Rock_ and _Paper_ , as in Rock-paper-scissors, under the following
  condition:
  
  (※) After each turn, (the number of times the player has played Paper)≦(the
  number of times the player has played Rock).
  
  Each player's score is calculated by (the number of turns where the player
  wins) - (the number of turns where the player loses), where the outcome of
  each turn is determined by the rules of Rock-paper-scissors.
  
  _(For those who are not familiar with Rock-paper-scissors: If one player plays
  Rock and the other plays Paper, the latter player will win and the former
  player will lose. If both players play the same gesture, the round is a tie
  and neither player will win nor lose.)_
  
  With his supernatural power, AtCoDeer was able to foresee the gesture that
  TopCoDeer will play in each of the N turns, before the game starts. Plan
  AtCoDeer's gesture in each turn to maximize AtCoDeer's score.
  
  The gesture that TopCoDeer will play in each turn is given by a string s. If
  the i-th (1≦i≦N) character in s is `g`, TopCoDeer will play Rock in the i-th
  turn. Similarly, if the i-th (1≦i≦N) character of s in `p`, TopCoDeer will
  play Paper in the i-th turn.
