An anagram of a string is formed by rearranging the letters in the string. For example, the anagrams of aab are aab, aba, and baa.

A wildcard anagram of a string is an anagram of the string where some of the letters might have been replaced with an asterisk (*). For example, two possible wildcard anagrams of aab are *ab and *b*.

Given two strings, determine whether the second string is a wildcard anagram of the first string.

Input Specification

The two lines of input will both consist of N (1 \le N \le 100) characters. Each character in the first line will be a lowercase letter. Each character in the second line will be either a lowercase letter or an asterisk.

For 8 of the 15 available marks, the second line will not contain any asterisk characters.

Output Specification

Output the character A if the string on the second line is a wildcard anagram of the string on the first line. Otherwise, output the character N.

        You should look at the time stamps more carefully before commenting. That was in reference to comments cleaned up over a year ago.
