QUESTION
Given two strings,a and b, find and print the total number of ways to insert a character at any position in string a such that the length of the Longest Common Subsequence of characters in the two strings increases by one.\n\nInput Format\n\nThe first line contains a single string denoting a. \nThe second line contains a single string denoting b.\n\nConstraints\n\nScoring\n1.1<=|a|,|b|<=5000\n2.Strings a and b are alphanumeric (i.e., consisting of arabic digits and/or upper and lower case English letters).\n3.The new character being inserted must also be alphanumeric (i.e., a digit or upper/lower case English letter).\nSubtask\n1<=|a|,|b|<=1000\n for 66.7% of the maximum score.\nOutput Format\n\nPrint a single integer denoting the total number of ways to insert a character into string a in such a way that the length of the longest common subsequence of a and b increases by one.
