Problem Statement

Find the number of palindromic numbers among the integers between A and B (inclusive).
Here, a palindromic number is a positive integer whose string representation in base 10 (without leading zeros) reads the same forward and backward.

Constraints

10000 \leq A \leq B \leq 99999

All input values are integers.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

A B

Output

Print the number of palindromic numbers among the integers between A and B (inclusive).

Sample Input 1

11009 11332

Sample Output 1

4

There are four integers that satisfy the conditions: 11011, 11111, 11211 and 11311.

Sample Input 2

31415 92653

Sample Output 2

612

Solution in Python (3.4.3) (judge verdict: Wrong Answer)

a = input().split(" ")
start = a[0]
start = list(map(int, start))
end = a[1]
end = list(map(int, end))

if (end[0] - start[0]) != 0:
    ans = (end[0] - start[0]  - 1) * 100 + end[1] * 10 + end[2] + 1 + (9 - start[1]) * 10 + (10 - start[2])
    if start[1]  < start[3] :
        ans -=   1
    else:
        if start[0] < start[4]:
            ans -= 1
else:
    if (end[1] - start[1]) != 0:
        ans = (end[1] - start[1] - 1)  * 10 + end[2] + (10 - start[2])
        if start[1]  < start[3] :
            ans -=   1
        else:
            if start[0] < start[4]:  
                ans -= 1
        
    else:
        ans = end[2] - start[2] + 1

print(ans)
