You are a treasure hunter.
Your goal is simple : Move on the map to collect the maximum amount of gold.

Given a map of height H, width W and a starting position X, you can move on 4 directions ( North, South, East, West ).
Each time you visit a cell, you collect the amount of gold indicated on it.
You Cannot visit a cell more than once !

The possible values for a cell are :
- 'X' : Your position
- ' ' : Nothing - you can go through that cell, but there is no gold on it.
- '#' : A wall - you cannot go through that cell.
- [1 - 9] : The amount of gold on that cell.
Input
Line 1 : Two space-separated positive integers H and W for the height and the width of the map.
H next lines : A string (of size W) representing each row of the map.
Output
A non-negative integer for the maximum amount of gold obtained by summing the amount of gold on each visited cell.
Constraints
