    854 - K-Similar Strings.

    Hard

    Strings s1 and s2 are k \-similar (for some non-negative integer k) if we can swap the positions of two letters in s1 exactly k times so that the resulting string equals s2.

    Given two anagrams s1 and s2, return the smallest k for which s1 and s2 are k \-similar.

    Example 1:

    Input: s1 = "ab", s2 = "ba"

    Output: 1

    Explanation: The two string are 1-similar because we can use one swap to change s1 to s2: "ab" --> "ba".

    Example 2:

    Input: s1 = "abc", s2 = "bca"

    Output: 2

    Explanation: The two strings are 2-similar because we can use two swaps to change s1 to s2: "abc" --> "bac" --> "bca".

    Constraints:

    • 1 <= s1.length <= 20

    • s2.length == s1.length

    • s1 and s2 contain only lowercase letters from the set {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'}.

    • s2 is an anagram of s1.
