Given two strings a and b, return the length of the longest uncommon subsequence between a and b. If the longest uncommon subsequence does not exist, return -1.

\n\n

An uncommon subsequence between two strings is a string that is a subsequence of one but not the other.

\n\n

A subsequence of a string s is a string that can be obtained after deleting any number of characters from s.

\n\n\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: a = "aba", b = "cdc"\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: One longest uncommon subsequence is "aba" because "aba" is a subsequence of "aba" but not "cdc".\nNote that "cdc" is also a longest uncommon subsequence.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: a = "aaa", b = "bbb"\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: The longest uncommon subsequences are "aaa" and "bbb".\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: a = "aaa", b = "aaa"\nOutput: -1\nExplanation: Every subsequence of string a is also a subsequence of string b. Similarly, every subsequence of string b is also a subsequence of string a.\n
