Codeforces Round #303 (Div. 2) A - Equidistant String(贪心)

本博客探讨了在给定两个由0,1组成的相同长度序列的情况下,如何找到一个序列,使得它与这两个序列的汉明距离相同。通过分析序列中0和1的不同数量,并据此构建所求序列。

题意:给定两个由0,1组成的相同长度的序列,求到两个序列汉明距离相同的由0,1组成的序列,若有多个输出一个即可。

解题思路:首先若是存在所求序列, 那么所给的两个串的对应相同下标不同的数字的个数 ,一定为偶数。然后就是把这个 偶数 /  2个 与第一个串(与第二个串数字不同)相同, 另外一半与第二个串(与第一个串对应数字不同)相同, 两个串对应位置相同的地方, 所求串也相同。

Description

Little Susie loves strings. Today she calculates distances between them. As Susie is a small girl after all, her strings contain only digits zero and one. She uses the definition of Hamming distance:

We will define the distance between two strings s and t of the same length consisting of digits zero and one as the number of positions i, such that si isn't equal to ti.

As besides everything else Susie loves symmetry, she wants to find for two strings s and t of length n such string p of length n, that the distance from p to s was equal to the distance from p to t.

It's time for Susie to go to bed, help her find such string p or state that it is impossible.

Input

The first line contains string s of length n.

The second line contains string t of length n.

The length of string n is within range from 1 to 105. It is guaranteed that both strings contain only digits zero and one.

Output

Print a string of length n, consisting of digits zero and one, that meets the problem statement. If no such string exist, print on a single line "impossible" (without the quotes).

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

Sample Input

Input
0001
1011
Output
0011
Input
000
111
Output
impossible

Hint

In the first sample different answers are possible, namely — 0010, 0011, 0110, 0111, 1000, 1001, 1100, 1101.
