Given two strings: s1 and s2 with the same size, check if some permutation of string s1 can break some permutation of string s2 or vice-versa. In other words s2 can break s1 or vice-versa.

\n\n

A string x can break string y (both of size n) if x[i] >= y[i] (in alphabetical order) for all i between 0 and n-1.

\n\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: s1 = "abc", s2 = "xya"\nOutput: true\nExplanation: "ayx" is a permutation of s2="xya" which can break to string "abc" which is a permutation of s1="abc".\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: s1 = "abe", s2 = "acd"\nOutput: false \nExplanation: All permutations for s1="abe" are: "abe", "aeb", "bae", "bea", "eab" and "eba" and all permutation for s2="acd" are: "acd", "adc", "cad", "cda", "dac" and "dca". However, there is not any permutation from s1 which can break some permutation from s2 and vice-versa.\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: s1 = "leetcodee", s2 = "interview"\nOutput: true\n
