"""
Santa is trying to deliver presents in a large apartment building, but he can't find the right floor - the directions he got are a little confusing. He starts on the ground floor (floor 0) and then follows the instructions one character at a time.

An opening parenthesis, `(`, means he should go up one floor, and a closing parenthesis, `)`, means he should go down one floor.

The apartment building is very tall, and the basement is very deep; he will never find the top or bottom floors.

For example:

    `(())` and `()()` both result in floor 0.
    `(((` and `(()(()(` both result in floor 3.
    `))(((((` also results in floor 3.
    `())`and `))(` both result in floor -1 (the first basement level).
    `)))` and `)())())` both result in floor -3.

To what floor do the instructions take Santa?

   Now, given the same instructions, find the position of the first character that causes him to enter the basement (floor -1). The first character in the instructions has position 1, the second character has position 2, and so on.

For example:

    `)` causes him to enter the basement at character position 1.
    `()())` causes him to enter the basement at character position 5.

What is the position of the character that causes Santa to first enter the basement?
