Problem Statement
翻译中…
You are given two strings $S$ and $T$ of length $N$ consisting of A and B. Let $s_i$ denote the $i$-th character of $S$.
翻译中…
You can perform the following operation on $S$ any number of times, possibly zero:
翻译中…
- Choose an integer pair
$(i, j)$satisfying the following conditions: $1 \leq i < j \leq N$$s_i = s_j =$A$s_{i+1} = s_{i+2} = \ldots = s_{j-1} =$B
- Then, simultaneously replace each of
$s_i, s_{i+1}, \ldots, s_j$with the other character (AbecomesB, andBbecomesA).

Determine the minimum number of operations required to make $S$ equal to $T$. If it is impossible, print -1.

Output #1
2
You can make $S$ equal to $T$ in two operations as follows:
1. Perform the operation with $(i, j) = (2, 3)$. $S$ becomes `ABBBA`.
2. Perform the operation with $(i, j) = (1, 5)$. $S$ becomes `BAAAB`.
It is impossible to make $S$ equal to $T$ in fewer than two operations, so the answer is `2`.

Output #2
-1
It is impossible to make $S$ equal to $T$. Note that you must choose $(i, j)$ with $i < j$.

Without any operation, $S$ is already equal to $T$.
