Strings A and B are K-similar (for some non-negative integer K) if we can swap the positions of two letters in A exactly K times so that the resulting string equals B.
Given two anagrams A and B, return the smallest K for which A and B are K-similar.
Example 1:
Input: A = "ab", B = "ba"
Output: 1


Example 2:
Input: A = "abc", B = "bca"
Output: 2


Example 3:
Input: A = "abac", B = "baca"
Output: 2


Example 4:
Input: A = "aabc", B = "abca"
Output: 2



Note:

1 <= A.length == B.length <= 20
A and B contain only lowercase letters from the set {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'}
