NAKANJ - Minimum Knight moves !!!


Anjali and Nakul are good friends. They both had a quarrel recently while playing chess. Nakul wants to know the minimum number of moves a knight takes to reach from one square to another square of a chess board (8 × 8). Nakul is brilliant and he had already written a program to solve the problem. Nakul wants to know whether Anjali can do it. Anjali is very weak in programming. Help her to solve the problem.

A knight can move in the shape of an "L" in a chessboard - two squares either forward, backward, left, or right and then one square to its left or right. A knight move is valid if it moves as mentioned above and it is within the boundary of the chessboard (8 × 8).

knight

Input

There are T test cases in total. The next T lines contain two strings (start and destination) separated by a space.

The strings start and destination will only contain two characters - First character is an alphabet between 'a' and 'h' (inclusive), Second character is a digit between '1' and '8' (inclusive) - (Quotes just for clarity).

To know the knight moves more clearly refer to the above figure.

Output

Print the minimum number of moves a knight takes to reach from start to destination in a separate line.

Constraints

1 <= T <= 4096

Example

Input:
3
a1 h8
a1 c2
h8 c3

Output:
6
1
4

Good problem to learn BFS

AC in one go!!
My first BFS.

There is no need to construct a graph (this may save you some time).

AC in one go!!! Indeed a very good question.! It took me sometime to construct the graph .Focus on the movement of the knight and you realise why BFS works here!!!!! That's the key!!

very good problem for learning where to apply dfs and where to apply bfs.....focus on this question before solving the problem
