521 - Longest Uncommon Subsequence I.Easy
Given two strings
a
andb
, return the length of the longest uncommon subsequence betweena
andb
. If the longest uncommon subsequence does not exist, return-1
.An uncommon subsequence between two strings is a string that is a subsequence of one but not the other.
A subsequence of a string
s
is a string that can be obtained after deleting any number of characters froms
.- For example,
"abc"
is a subsequence of"aebdc"
because you can delete the underlined characters in"aebdc"
to get"abc"
. Other subsequences of"aebdc"
include"aebdc"
,"aeb"
, and""
(empty string).
Example 1:
Input: a = “aba”, b = “cdc”
Output: 3
Explanation: One longest uncommon subsequence is “aba” because “aba” is a subsequence of “aba” but not “cdc”. Note that “cdc” is also a longest uncommon subsequence.
Example 2:
Input: a = “aaa”, b = “bbb”
Output: 3
Explanation: The longest uncommon subsequences are “aaa” and “bbb”.
Example 3:
Input: a = “aaa”, b = “aaa”
Output: -1
Explanation: Every subsequence of string a is also a subsequence of string b. Similarly, every subsequence of string b is also a subsequence of string a.
Constraints:
1 <= a.length, b.length <= 100
a
andb
consist of lower-case English letters.
