Abbreviation
Problem Statement :
You can perform the following operations on the string, a: 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. For example, given a = AbcDE and b = ABDE, in a we can convert b and delete c to match b. If a = AbcDE and b = AFDE, matching is not possible because letters may only be capitalized or discarded, not changed. Function Description Complete the function abbreviation 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.

Delete a Node
Delete the node at a given position in a linked list and return a reference to the head node. The head is at position 0. The list may be empty after you delete the node. In that case, return a null value. Example: list=0->1->2->3 position=2 After removing the node at position 2, list'= 0->1->-3.
