Andrew and Strings-Codechef

http://www.codechef.com/problems/AMSTRING

Andrew likes strings very much.
He has two strings A and B of N lower alphabet letters. We denote S[i, j] as the substring from ith to jth characters of string S.
Andrew is interested in the number of such fours of integers (LA, RA, LB, RB), where 1LARAN, 1LBRBN, and RA − LA = RB − LB, such that the Hamming distance between substrings A[LA, RA] and B[LB, RB] is not greater than K. Here the Hamming distance between two strings of the same length is the number of unequal characters on the same positions of strings.
Help him and find this number.

Input

The first line of the input contains an integer T, denoting the number of test cases. The description of T test cases follows. The first line of each test case contains two space-separated integers N and K. The second line contains string A, and the third line contains string B.

Output

For each test case, output an integer, denoting the number of fours (LA, RA, LB, RB) satisfying the conditions described in the problem statements.

Constraints

  • 1T10
  • 1N1000
  • 1KN
  • Both A and B are contain only N lower alphabet letters

Example

Input:
3
3 2
aba
abb
3 2
abc
def
1 1
a
a

Output:
14
13
1

Explanation

Example case 1: There are 14 fours as following:
(1, 1, 1, 1) : dist(A[1, 1], B[1, 1]) = dist(a, a) = 0 ≤ 2
(1, 1, 2, 2) : dist(A[1, 1], B[2, 2]) = dist(a, b) = 1 ≤ 2
(1, 1, 3, 3) : dist(A[1, 1], B[3, 3]) = dist(a, b) = 1 ≤ 2
(2, 2, 1, 1) : dist(A[2, 2], B[1, 1]) = dist(b, a) = 1 ≤ 2
(2, 2, 2, 2) : dist(A[2, 2], B[2, 2]) = dist(b, b) = 0 ≤ 2
(2, 2, 3, 3) : dist(A[2, 2], B[3, 3]) = dist(b, b) = 0 ≤ 2
(3, 3, 1, 1) : dist(A[3, 3], B[1, 1]) = dist(a, a) = 0 ≤ 2
(3, 3, 2, 2) : dist(A[3, 3], B[2, 2]) = dist(a, b) = 1 ≤ 2
(3, 3, 3, 3) : dist(A[3, 3], B[3, 3]) = dist(a, b) = 1 ≤ 2
(1, 2, 1, 2) : dist(A[1, 2], B[1, 2]) = dist(ab, ab) = 0 ≤ 2
(1, 2, 2, 3) : dist(A[1, 2], B[2, 3]) = dist(ab, bb) = 1 ≤ 2
(2, 3, 1, 2) : dist(A[2, 3], B[1, 2]) = dist(ba, ab) = 2 ≤ 2
(2, 3, 2, 3) : dist(A[2, 3], B[2, 3]) = dist(ba, bb) = 1 ≤ 2
(1, 3, 1, 3) : dist(A[1, 3], B[1, 3]) = dist(aba, abb) = 1 ≤ 2
Example case 2: The four (1, 3, 1, 3) no longer satisfies the conditions, because
(1, 3, 1, 3) : dist(A[1, 3], B[1, 3]) = dist(abc, def) = 3 > 2

Extend to Palindrome


Your task is, given an integer N, to make a palidrome (word that reads the same when you reverse it) of length at least N. Any palindrome will do. Easy, isn't it? That's what you thought before you passed it on to your inexperienced team-mate. When the contest is almost over, you find out that that problem still isn't solved. The problem with the code is that the strings generated are often not palindromic. There's not enough time to start again from scratch or to debug his messy code. Seeing that the situation is desperate, you decide to simply write some additional code that takes the output and adds just enough extra characters to it to make it a palindrome and hope for the best. Your solution should take as its input a string and produce the smallest palindrome that can be formed by adding zero or more characters at its end.



Input




Input will consist of several lines ending in EOF. Each line will contain a non-empty string made up of upper case and lower case English letters ('A'-'Z' and 'a'-'z'). The length of the string will be less than or equal to 100,000.







Output



For each line of input, output will consist of exactly one line. It should contain the palindrome formed by adding the fewest number of extra letters to the end of the corresponding input string.

Problema A del regional: Arranging heaps

A mining company extracts terbium, a rare metal used for constructing lightweight magnets, from river sand. They mine the Long River at N mining points, each of them identified by its distance from the river source. At each mining point, a relatively small but highly valued heap of mineral ore is extracted from the river.
To collect the mineral ore, the company regroups the N produced heaps into a smaller number of K heaps, each located at one of the initial mining points. The newly formed heaps are then collected by trucks.
To regroup the N heaps, they use a barge, which in practice can carry any amount of mineral ore because it is very large. The barge starts at the river source and can only travel downriver, so the heap produced at a mining point X can be taken to a mining point Y only if Y > X. Each heap is moved completely to another mining point, or not moved at all. The cost of moving a heap of weight W from a mining point X to a mining point Y is W x (Y - X). The total cost of the regrouping is the sum of the costs for each heap movement. Notice that a heap which is not moved has no influence on the total cost.
Given the values for N and K, the N mining points, and the weight of the heap each mining point produced, write a program that calculates the minimum total cost to regroup the N initial heaps into K heaps.

Input 

Each test case is described using several lines. The first line contains two integers N and K denoting respectively the number of initial heaps and the desired number of heaps after regrouping ( 1$ \le$K < N$ \le$1000). Each of the next N lines describes one of the initial heaps with two integers X and W indicating that the mining point X produced a heap of weight W ( 1$ \le$X, W$ \le$106). Within each test case the heaps are given in strictly ascending order considering their mining points.

Sample Output 

For each test case output a line with an integer representing the minimum total cost to regroup the N initial heaps into K heaps.

417 UVA word index

 Word Index 

Encoding schemes are often used in situations requiring encryption or information storage/transmission economy. Here, we develop a simple encoding scheme that encodes particular types of words with five or fewer (lower case) letters as integers.
Consider the English alphabet {a,b,c,...,z}. Using this alphabet, a set of valid words are to be formed that are in a strict lexicographic order. In this set of valid words, the successive letters of a word are in a strictly ascending order; that is, later letters in a valid word are always after previous letters with respect to their positions in the alphabet list {a,b,c,...,z}. For example,
abc aep gwz
are all valid three-letter words, whereas
aab are cat
are not.
For each valid word associate an integer which gives the position of the word in the alphabetized list of words. That is:
    a -> 1
    b -> 2
    .
    .
    z -> 26
    ab -> 27
    ac -> 28
    .
    .
    az -> 51
    bc -> 52
    .
    .
    vwxyz -> 83681
Your program is to read a series of input lines. Each input line will have a single word on it, that will be from one to five letters long. For each word read, if the word is invalid give the number 0. If the word read is valid, give the word's position index in the above alphabetical list.

Input

The input consists of a series of single words, one per line. The words are at least one letter long and no more that five letters. Only the lower case alphabetic {a,b,...,z} characters will be used as input. The first letter of a word will appear as the first character on an input line.
The input will be terminated by end-of-file.

Output

The output is a single integer, greater than or equal to zero (0) and less than or equal 83681. The first digit of an output value should be the first character on a line. There is one line of output for each input line.

Sample Input

z
a
cat
vwxyz
