# Task
 You are given two string `a` an `s`. Starting with an empty string we can do the following two operations:
```
append the given string a to the end of the current string.
erase one symbol of the current string.```
Your task is to find the least number of operations needed to construct the given string s. Assume that all the letters from `s` appear in `a` at least once.

# Example

 For `a = "aba", s = "abbaab"`, the result should be `6`.
 
 Coinstruction:
 
 `"" -> "aba" -> "ab" -> "ababa" -> "abba" -> "abbaaba" -> "abbaab".`
 
 So, the result is 6.

 For `a = "aba", s = "a"`, the result should be `3`.
 
 Coinstruction:
 
 `"" -> "aba" -> "ab" -> "a".`
 
 So, the result is 3.

 For `a = "aba", s = "abaa"`, the result should be `4`.
 
 Coinstruction:
 
 `"" -> "aba" -> "abaaba" -> "abaab" -> "abaa".`
 
 So, the result is 4.

# Input/Output


 - `[input]` string `a`

  string to be appended. Contains only lowercase English letters. 
  
  1 <= a.length <= 20


 - `[input]` string `s`

  desired string containing only lowercase English letters.
  
  1 <= s.length < 1000


 - `[output]` an integer

  minimum number of operations
