You are given two strings s and t such that every character occurs at most once in s and t is a permutation of s.

\n\n

The permutation difference between s and t is defined as the sum of the absolute difference between the index of the occurrence of each character in s and the index of the occurrence of the same character in t.

\n\n

Return the permutation difference between s and t.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\n

Input: s = "abc", t = "bac"

\n\n

Output: 2

\n\n

Explanation:

\n\n

For s = "abc" and t = "bac", the permutation difference of s and t is equal to the sum of:

\n\n\n\n

That is, the permutation difference between s and t is equal to |0 - 1| + |2 - 2| + |1 - 0| = 2.

\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\n

Input: s = "abcde", t = "edbac"

\n\n

Output: 12

\n\n

Explanation: The permutation difference between s and t is equal to |0 - 3| + |1 - 2| + |2 - 4| + |3 - 1| + |4 - 0| = 12.
