Ford Prefect got a job as a web developer for a small company that makes towels. His current work task is to create a search engine for the website of the company. During the development process, he needs to write a subroutine for comparing strings S and T of equal length to be "similar". After a brief search on the Internet, he learned about the Hamming distance between two strings S and T of the same length, which is defined as the number of positions in which S and T have different characters. For example, the Hamming distance between words "permanent" and "pergament" is two, as these words differ in the fourth and sixth letters.

Moreover, as he was searching for information, he also noticed that modern search engines have powerful mechanisms to correct errors in the request to improve the quality of search. Ford doesn't know much about human beings, so he assumed that the most common mistake in a request is swapping two arbitrary letters of the string (not necessarily adjacent). Now he wants to write a function that determines which two letters should be swapped in string S, so that the Hamming distance between a new string S and string T would be as small as possible, or otherwise, determine that such a replacement cannot reduce the distance between the strings.

Help him do this!

Input

The first line contains integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 200 000) — the length of strings S and T.

The second line contains string S.

The third line contains string T.

Each of the lines only contains lowercase Latin letters.

Output

In the first line, print number x — the minimum possible Hamming distance between strings S and T if you swap at most one pair of letters in S.

In the second line, either print the indexes i and j (1 ≤ i, j ≤ ni ≠ j), if reaching the minimum possible distance is possible by swapping letters on positions i and j, or print "-1 -1", if it is not necessary to swap characters.

If there are multiple possible answers, print any of them.

Sample test(s)

Note

In the second test it is acceptable to print i = 2j = 3.

看了别人的代码,发现两个字符串的数字匹配只有26*26*2种情况,所以读入所有情况就行了,这里有一点要注意,就是a[i][j]等于i,这样待会要输出交换位置时就可以直接输出了。

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
char str1[200005],str2[200005];
int a[40][40];
int main()
{
	int n,i,t,flag,x,y,k,j;
	while(scanf("%d",&n)!=EOF)
	{
		memset(a,0,sizeof(a));
		memset(str1,0,sizeof(str1));
		memset(str2,0,sizeof(str1));
		scanf("%s%s",str1+1,str2+1);
		t=flag=x=y=0;
		for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
		{
			if(str1[i]!=str2[i])
			{
				a[str1[i]-'a'+1][str2[i]-'a'+1]=i;
				t++;
			}
		}
		
		for(i=1;i<=26;i++)
		{
			for(j=1;j<=26;j++)
			{
				if(a[i][j] && a[j][i])
				{
					flag=1;
					x=a[i][j];
					y=a[j][i];
					break;
				}
			}
			if(flag==1)
			break;
		}
		if(flag==1)
		{
			printf("%d\n",t-2);
			printf("%d %d\n",x,y);
			continue;
		}
		
		for(i=1;i<=26;i++)
		{
			for(j=1;j<=26;j++)
			{
				if(a[i][j])
				{
				 for(k=1;k<=26;k++)
				 {
					if(a[j][k])
					{
						flag=1;
						x=a[i][j];
						y=a[j][k];
						break;
					}
				 }
				}
				if(flag==1)
			    break;
			}
			if(flag==1)
			break;
		}
		if(flag==1)
		{
			printf("%d\n",t-1);
			printf("%d %d\n",x,y);
			continue;
		}
		
		printf("%d\n",t);
		printf("-1 -1\n");
	}
	return 0;
}
