You are given the strings a and b, consisting of lowercase Latin letters. You can do any number of the following operations in any order:
if |a|>0 (the length of the string a is greater than zero), delete the first character of the string a, that is, replace a with a2a3…an;
if |a|>0, delete the last character of the string a, that is, replace a with a1a2…an−1;
if |b|>0 (the length of the string b is greater than zero), delete the first character of the string b, that is, replace b with b2b3…bn;
if |b|>0, delete the last character of the string b, that is, replace b with b1b2…bn−1.
Note that after each of the operations, the string a or b may become empty.
For example, if a=“hello” and b=“icpc”, then you can apply the following sequence of operations:
delete the first character of the string a ⇒ a=“ello” and b=“icpc”;
delete the first character of the string b ⇒ a=“ello” and b=“cpc”;
delete the first character of the string b ⇒ a=“ello” and b=“pc”;
delete the last character of the string a ⇒ a=“ell” and b=“pc”;
delete the last character of the string b ⇒ a=“ell” and b=“p”.
For the given strings a and b, find the minimum number of operations for which you can make the strings a and b equal. Note that empty strings are also equal.
Input
The first line contains a single integer t (1≤t≤100). Then t test cases follow.
The first line of each test case contains the string a (1≤|a|≤20), consisting of lowercase Latin letters.
The second line of each test case contains the string b (1≤|b|≤20), consisting of lowercase Latin letters.
