Two Strings


Problem Statement :


Given two strings, determine if they share a common substring . A substring may be as small as one character.

For example, the words "a", "and", "art" share the common substring a. The words "be" and "cat" do not share a substring.

Function Description

Complete the function twoStrings in the editor below. It should return a string, either YES or NO based on whether the strings share a common substring.

twoStrings has the following parameter(s):

    s1, s2: two strings to analyze .

Input Format

The first line contains a single integer p, the number of test cases.

The following p pairs of lines are as follows:

   1. The first line contains string  s1
   2. The second line contains string s2.

Constraints

   s1 and s2 consist of characters in the range ascii[a-z].
   1 <= p <= 10
   1 <= | s1 |, | s2 | <= 10 ^5

Output Format

For each pair of strings, return YES or NO.
