Two Robots
Problem Statement :
You have a warehouse with M containers filled with an infinite number of candies. The containers are arranged in a single row, equally spaced to be 1 meter apart. You also have 2 robots that can pick up 1 piece of candy and transport it between any two containers. The robots take instructions in the form of queries consisting of two integers, Ma and Mb, respectively. To execute a query, a robot travels to container Ma, picks up 1 candy, transports it to container Mb, and then stops at Mb until it receives another query. Calculate the minimum total distance the robots must travel to execute N queries in order. Note: You choose which robot executes each query. Input Format The first line contains a single integer, T (the number of test cases); each of the T test cases is described over N+1 lines. The first line of a test case has two space-separated integers, M (the number of containers) and N (the number of queries). The N subsequent lines each contain two space-separated integers, Ma and Mb, respectively; each line Ni describes the ith query. Constraints 1 <= T <= 50 1 < M <= 1000 1 <= N <= 1000 1 <= a,b <= M Ma != Mb Output Format On a new line for each test case, print an integer denoting the minimum total distance that the robots must travel to execute the queries in order.

There is a given list of strings where each string contains only lowercase letters from a - j, inclusive. The set of strings is said to be a GOOD SET if no string is a prefix of another string. In this case, print GOOD SET. Otherwise, print BAD SET on the first line followed by the string being checked. Note If two strings are identical, they are prefixes of each other. Function Descriptio
