#K47547. Minimum Operations to Convert Strings
Minimum Operations to Convert Strings
Minimum Operations to Convert Strings
You are given two strings S and T of equal length n consisting of lowercase English letters. The goal is to convert S into T by performing a series of operations. In one operation, you can increment any character in S by 1 (with wrap-around so that 'z' becomes 'a').
The number of operations for each character is computed as:
\( d = (T_i - S_i) \mod 26 \)
Your task is to determine the minimum total number of operations required to convert S into T.
Example: For n = 5, S = "abcde" and T = "cdefg", the total number of operations is 10.
inputFormat
The input is given in the standard input (stdin) in the following format:
- An integer n representing the length of the strings.
- A string S of length n.
- A string T of length n.
outputFormat
Output a single integer which is the minimum number of operations required to convert S into T. The output should be written to standard output (stdout).
