ADFRUITS - Advanced Fruits

The company "21st Century Fruits" has specialized in creating new sorts of fruits by transferring genes from one fruit into the genome of another one. Most times this method doesn't work, but sometimes, in very rare cases, a new fruit emerges that tastes like a mixture between both of them.

A big topic of discussion inside the company is "How should the new creations be called?" A mixture between an apple and a pear could be called an apple-pear, of course, but this doesn't sound very interesting. The boss finally decides to use the shortest string that contains both names of the original fruits as sub-sequences of the new name. For instance, "applear" contains "apple" and "pear" (APPLEar and apPlEAR), and there is no shorter string that has the same property.

A combination of a cranberry and a boysenberry would therefore be called a "boysecranberry" or a "craboysenberry", for example.

Your job is to write a program that computes such a shortest name for a combination of two given fruits. Your algorithm should be efficient, otherwise it is unlikely that it will execute in the allotted time for long fruit names.

Input Specification

Each line of the input file contains two strings that represent the names of the fruits that should be combined. All names have a maximum length of 100 and only consist of alphabetic characters.

Input is terminated by end of file.

Output Specification

For each test case, output the shortest name of the resulting fruit on one line. If more than one shortest name is possible, any one is acceptable.

Sample Input

apple peach
ananas banana
pear peach

Sample Output

appleach
bananas
pearch

Highly ambiguous and time wasting problem. got the idea as to how to shorten the word but took hours to present the manipulated string

awesome problem :)
lcs+dp+backtracking+string manupulation !!!

2015-09-18 11:07:59 free mind ;)
Nice Problem :)

@acid_ - my one solution whose output do not match with given test case got accepted. but second one gave wrong answer don't know why ; )

Are we sure over here that all possible combinations are accepted?
