664\. Strange Printer

Hard

There is a strange printer with the following two special properties:

*   The printer can only print a sequence of **the same character** each time.
*   At each turn, the printer can print new characters starting from and ending at any place and will cover the original existing characters.

Given a string `s`, return _the minimum number of turns the printer needed to print it_.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** s = "aaabbb"

**Output:** 2

**Explanation:** Print "aaa" first and then print "bbb".

**Example 2:**

**Input:** s = "aba"

**Output:** 2

**Explanation:** Print "aaa" first and then print "b" from the second place of the string, which will cover the existing character 'a'.

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= s.length <= 100`
*   `s` consists of lowercase English letters.
