Problem Statement

You are given strings s and t.
Find one longest string that is a subsequence of both s and t.

Notes

A subsequence of a string x is the string obtained by removing zero or more characters from x and concatenating the remaining characters without changing the order.

Constraints

s and t are strings consisting of lowercase English letters.

1 \leq |s|, |t| \leq 3000

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

s
t

Output

Print one longest string that is a subsequence of both s and t.
If there are multiple such strings, any of them will be accepted.

Sample Input 1

axyb
abyxb

Sample Output 1

axb

The answer is axb or ayb; either will be accepted.

Sample Input 2

aa
xayaz

Sample Output 2

aa

Sample Input 3

a
z

Sample Output 3

The answer is (an empty string).

Sample Input 4

abracadabra
avadakedavra

Sample Output 4

aaadara
