    Imagine you have a special keyboard with the following keys: 

    Key 1:  Prints 'A' on screen
    Key 2: (Ctrl-A): Select screen
    Key 3: (Ctrl-C): Copy selection to buffer
    Key 4: (Ctrl-V): Print buffer on screen appending it after what has already been printed.

    Find maximum numbers of A's that can be produced by pressing keys on the special keyboard N times. 


    Example 1:

    Input: N = 3
    Output: 3
    Explanation: Press key 1 three times.
