Codeforces Round #303 Equidistant String

Little Susie loves strings. Today she calculates distances between them. As Susie is a small girl after all, her strings contain only digits zero and one. She uses the definition of Hamming distance:

We will define the distance between two strings s andt of the same length consisting of digits zero and one as the number of positionsi, such that si isn't equal toti.

As besides everything else Susie loves symmetry, she wants to find for two stringss and t of lengthn such string p of lengthn, that the distance from p to s was equal to the distance fromp to t.

It's time for Susie to go to bed, help her find such string p or state that it is impossible.

Input

The first line contains string s of lengthn.

The second line contains string t of lengthn.

The length of string n is within range from1 to 105. It is guaranteed that both strings contain only digits zero and one.

Output

Print a string of length n, consisting of digits zero and one, that meets the problem statement. If no such string exist, print on a single line "impossible" (without the quotes).

If there are multiple possible answers, print any of them.
