The Voyager 1 space probe (not to be confused with the Intrep\(id-cl\)ass starship) was launched a long
time ago, in 1977, and is currently on the verge of leaving our Solar System. As it travels further
through space, it has been programmed to leave a radio signal message in any star system it stumbles
upon, to mark the probe's path for as long as possible.
Let us assume that a star system can be represented by a rectangular grid with N rows and M
columns, dividing the space into N by M equal cells. Each cell can contain a single planet, black
hole, or be empty. The probe broadcasts the signal from a p\(re-de\)termined empty cell, in one of the
four ax\(is-al\)igned directions (“U”-up, “R”-right, “D”-down, “L”-left).
Upon being broadcast, the signal propagates in a straight line along the same r\(ow/co\)lumn until it
reaches a planet, where it is deflected by 90 degrees in another direction. There are two kinds of
planets, which we will denote by „/“ and „\“. The deflection rules are shown in the image below:
The signal permanently leaves the system upon either entring a cell containing a black hole, or
propagating outside the edges of the rectangular grid. It is also known that the signal needs one second
to propagate from the current cell to a neighbouring one.
Write a program to determine the direction in which the probe needs to broadcast the signal so that it
remains within the system for as long as possible, outputting the optimal direction as well as the
resulting longest time. If it is possible for the signal to remain in the system indefinitely, output the
message „Voyager“ instead of the required time.
In test data worth at least 50% of total points, the signal will not be able to remain in the system
indefinitely.
The first line of input contains two positive integers, N (\(1 \le N \le 500\)) and M (\(1 \le M \le 500\)).
Each of the following N lines contains M characters from the set {“/”, “\”, “C”, “.”}, where “/” and
“\” represent the two kinds of planets, “C” represents a black hole, and “.” represents an empty cell.
The last line of input contains two positive integers, PR (\(1 \le PR \le N\)) and PC (\(1 \le PC \le M\)), the row
and column number, respectively, of the cell where the probe is situated.
The first line of output must contain the required optimal broadcast direction (“U”, “R”, “D”, or “L”).
If the solution is not unique, select the first optimal one in the following priority order: first “U”, then
“R”, then “D”, and finally “L”.
The second line of output must contain the required longest time (or message).
