MAIN8_E - Cover the string |
Given two strings A and B. You have to find the length of the smallest substring of A, such that B is the subsequence of this substring.
Formally speaking you have to find the length of smallest possible string S such that:
- S is the substring of A.
- B is the subsequence S.
Note: Subsequence of an string S is obtained by deleting some (possibly none) of the characters from it. for example "ah" is the subsequence of "aohol".
Input
First line contains T, the number of test cases. Then T test cases follow, 2 lines for each test case, 1st contains A and 2nd contain B.
|A|<=20000, |B|<=100
Output
For each test case print the answer in a new line. if no such substring exists print -1 instead.
Example
Input: 2 aaddddcckhssdd acs ghkkhllhjkhthkjjht hh Output: 10 3

@problem setter: I think the solutions have not been rejudged after change of test cases. So a lot of solutions have passed in lower time. |

@Santiago Palacio It says that you should print -1 if that is the case. Therefore that case is possible. |

There is no case where B cannot be made from A right? |

@ justine. If you are getting TLE then optimize your code. Thats all what I can say ;) |

I have added a rigorous test case, on which some of the Accepted solutions failed. Please resubmit your solution in case yours failed too. |
