Problem Description There are two strings A and B with equal length. Both strings are made up of lower case letters. Now you have a powerful string painter. With the help of the painter, you can change a segment of characters of a string to any other character you want. That is, after using the painter, the segment is made up of only one kind of character. Now your task is to change A to B using string painter. What’s the minimum number of operations?

Input Input contains multiple cases. Each case consists of two lines: The first line contains string A. The second line contains string B. The length of both strings will not be greater than 100.

Output A single line contains one integer representing the answer.

Sample Input zzzzzfzzzzz abcdefedcba abababababab cdcdcdcdcdcd

Sample Output 6 7

这道题目完全没有思路，看了别人的题解。方法是先求空的字符数组变成目标字符数组，再求给定的字符数组变成目标字符数组。 虽然代码很短，确很值得我去思量，第二道区间DP题目
