Grab the biggest space!
Identify and claim the biggest space before your rivals!
Stake Your Claim is a four player minigame in Super Mario Party, and you can view how the game is actually played here. The game is actually quite simple—a rectangle board is given with boundary edges that divide up the board into four regions. Each player selects a section to claim it, and your goal is to pick the region with the largest area. However, the board gets larger and larger as the game goes on, and in many cases, it is not easy for a human to tell which region is the largest. The goal here is to write a computer program to compute the areas for the four sections.
Input Specification
The first line of the input contains two integers, and (), indicating the number of rows and columns of the board.
Then you are given lines, each containing characters. Each
character is either a dot .
(for empty cells), -
(for horizontal
edges), |
(for vertical edges), and +
(for corners). Characters
in odd columns and odd rows are walls and do not count for areas.
Characters in even columns and even rows are the actual cells that count
for areas. You can go to the note for more details on how the areas are
counted for the sample input instance.
Output Specification
The output only contains 4 integers, indicating the areas in decreasing order.

Explanation for Sample Output
The sample input exactly describes the game in the above image. The four sections are:
+-----------+-----+
|A.A.A.A.A.A|B.B.B|
|.....+-+.+-+.....|
|A.A.A|C|A|B.B.B.B|
+---+.|.|.|.+-+...|
|C.C|A|C|A|B|D|B B|
+-+.+-+.+-+-+.+-+.|
|D|C.C.C.C.C|D.D|B|
|.+---------+.+-+.|
|D.D.D.D.D.D.D|B.B|
+-------------+---+
Here the areas for sections A, B, C, and D are 12, 13, 9, 11,
respectively. Here we use A
, B
, C
and D
to denote the four
areas. Here .
means empty (no wall between two cells) that doesn't
count in area. +
, -
or |
mean walls.

So there will only be four areas?
