Abbreviation


Problem Statement :


You can perform the following operations on the string, :

1. Capitalize zero or more of a's lowercase letters.
2. Delete all of the remaining lowercase letters in a.

Given two strings, a and b, determine if it's possible to make a equal to b as described. If so, print YES on a new line. Otherwise, print NO.

Function Description

Complete the function abbrevation in the editor below. It must return either YES or NO.

abbreviation has the following parameter(s):

a: the string to modify
b: the string to match
Input Format

The first line contains a single integer q, the number of queries.

Each of the next q pairs of lines is as follows:
- The first line of each query contains a single string, a.
- The second line of each query contains a single string, b.

Constraints

1   <=   q  <=  10
1   <=   | a |, | b |   <=  1000
String a consists only of uppercase and lowercase English letters, ascii[A-Za-z].
String b consists only of uppercase English letters, ascii[A-Z].


Output Format

For each query, print YES on a new line if it's possible to make string a equal to string b. Otherwise, print NO.

Sample Input

1
daBcd
ABC
Sample Output

YES

Sparse Arrays

There is a collection of input strings and a collection of query strings. For each query string, determine how many times it occurs in the list of input strings. Return an array of the results. Example: strings=['ab', 'ab', 'abc'] queries=['ab', 'abc', 'bc'] There are instances of 'ab', 1 of 'abc' and 0 of 'bc'. For each query, add an element to the return array, results=[2,1,0]. Fun

Array Manipulation

Starting with a 1-indexed array of zeros and a list of operations, for each operation add a value to each of the array element between two given indices, inclusive. Once all operations have been performed, return the maximum value in the array. Example: n=10 queries=[[1,5,3], [4,8,7], [6,9,1]] Queries are interpreted as follows: a b k 1 5 3 4 8 7 6 9 1 Add the valu
