Periodic Strings
A character string is said to have period k if it can be formed by concatenating one or more repetitions of another string of length k. For example, the string “abcabcabcabc” has period 3, since it is formed by 4 repetitions of the string “abc”. It also has periods 6 (two repetitions of “abcabc”) and 12 (one repetition of “abcabcabcabc”).
Write a program to read a character string and determine its smallest period.
Input
The first line oif the input file will contain a single integer N indicating how many test case that your program will test followed by a blank line. Each test case will contain a single character string of up to 80 non-blank characters. Two consecutive input will separated by a blank line.
Output
An integer denoting the smallest period of the input string for each input. Two consecutive output are separated by a blank line.

一个字符串，问最少是多少个字符重复的。只用搜n/2次就好了，如果都不行，就是原来的长度。
写的时候要注意比较，容易出错。
