1974 - Minimum Time to Type Word Using Special Typewriter\. Easy There is a special typewriter with lowercase English letters `'a'` to `'z'` arranged in a **circle** with a **pointer**. A character can **only** be typed if the pointer is pointing to that character. The pointer is **initially** pointing to the character `'a'`.  Each second, you may perform one of the following operations: * Move the pointer one character **counterclockwise** or **clockwise**. * Type the character the pointer is **currently** on. Given a string `word`, return the **minimum** number of seconds to type out the characters in `word`. **Example 1:** **Input:** word = "abc" **Output:** 5 **Explanation:** The characters are printed as follows: - Type the character 'a' in 1 second since the pointer is initially on 'a'. - Move the pointer clockwise to 'b' in 1 second. - Type the character 'b' in 1 second. - Move the pointer clockwise to 'c' in 1 second. - Type the character 'c' in 1 second. **Example 2:** **Input:** word = "bza" **Output:** 7 **Explanation:** The characters are printed as follows: - Move the pointer clockwise to 'b' in 1 second. - Type the character 'b' in 1 second. - Move the pointer counterclockwise to 'z' in 2 seconds. - Type the character 'z' in 1 second. - Move the pointer clockwise to 'a' in 1 second. - Type the character 'a' in 1 second. **Example 3:** **Input:** word = "zjpc" **Output:** 34 **Explanation:** The characters are printed as follows: - Move the pointer counterclockwise to 'z' in 1 second. - Type the character 'z' in 1 second. - Move the pointer clockwise to 'j' in 10 seconds. - Type the character 'j' in 1 second. - Move the pointer clockwise to 'p' in 6 seconds. - Type the character 'p' in 1 second. - Move the pointer counterclockwise to 'c' in 13 seconds. - Type the character 'c' in 1 second. **Constraints:** * `1 <= word.length <= 100` * `word` consists of lowercase English letters.
