module Anagram
//Hackerrank problem
//Anagram
// Sid is obsessed with reading short stories. Being a CS student, he is doing some interesting frequency
// analysis with the books. He chooses strings and in such a way that .
// Your task is to help him find the minimum number of characters of the first string he needs to change to
// enable him to make it an anagram of the second string.
// Note: A word x is an anagram of another word y if we can produce y by rearranging the letters of x.
// Input Format
// The first line will contain an integer, , representing the number of test cases. Each test case will contain
// a string having length , which will be concatenation of both the strings described
// above in the problem.The given string will contain only characters from to .
// Constraints
// Output Format
// An integer corresponding to each test case is printed in a different line, i.e. the number of changes
// required for each test case. Print if it is not possible.
// Sample Input
// 6
// aaabbb
// ab
// abc mnop
// xyyx
// xaxbbbxx
// Sample Output
// 3
// 1
// -1
// 2
// 0
// 1
// Explanation
// Test Case #01: We have to replace all three characters from the first string to make both of strings
// anagram. Here, = "aaa" and = "bbb". So the solution is to replace all character 'a' in string a with
// character 'b'.
// Test Case #02: You have to replace 'a' with 'b', which will generate "bb".
// Test Case #03: It is not possible for two strings of unequal length to be anagram for each other.
// Test Case #04: We have to replace both the characters of first string ("mn") to make it anagram of other
// one.
// Test Case #05: and are already anagram to each other.
// Test Case #06: Here S1 = "xaxb" and S2 = "bbxx". He had to replace 'a' from S1 with 'b' so that S1 =
// "xbxb" and we can rearrange its letter to "bbxx" in order to get S2
