Given two strings s
and t
, find the number of ways you can choose a non-empty substring of s
and replace a single character by a different character such that the resulting substring is a substring of t
. In other words, find the number of substrings in s
that differ from some substring in t
by exactly one character.
For example, the underlined substrings in "computer"
and "computation"
only differ by the 'e'
/'a'
, so this is a valid way.
Return the number of substrings that satisfy the condition above.
A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.
Example 1:
Input: s = "aba", t = "baba" Output: 6 Explanation: The following are the pairs of substrings from s and t that differ by exactly 1 character: ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") ("aba", "baba") The underlined portions are the substrings that are chosen from s and t.Example 2:
Input: s = "ab", t = "bb" Output: 3 Explanation: The following are the pairs of substrings from s and t that differ by 1 character: ("ab", "bb") ("ab", "bb") ("ab", "bb") The underlined portions are the substrings that are chosen from s and t.Example 3:
Input: s = "a", t = "a" Output: 0
Example 4:
Input: s = "abe", t = "bbc" Output: 10
Constraints:
1 <= s.length, t.length <= 100
s
and t
consist of lowercase English letters only.
