Longest Uncommon Subsequence I

Given two strings a and b, return the length of the longest uncommon subsequence between a and b. If no such uncommon subsequence exists, return -1.

An uncommon subsequence between two strings is a string that is a subsequence of exactly one of them.

Example 1
Inputa = "aba", b = "cdc"
Output3
One longest uncommon subsequence is "aba" because "aba" is a subsequence of "aba" but not "cdc"; "cdc" is also a longest uncommon subsequence.
Example 2
Inputa = "aaa", b = "bbb"
Output3
The longest uncommon subsequences are "aaa" and "bbb".

Constraints

  • 1 <= a.length, b.length <= 100
  • a and b consist of lower-case English letters.
