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, b = map(int, input().split())
num = a
ans = 0
while num < b:
    str_num = str(num)
    if str_num[0] == str_num[4] and str_num[1] == str_num[3]:
        ans += 1
    num += 1
print(ans)
