Alice and Bob each created one problem for HackerRank. A reviewer rates the two challenges, awarding points on a scale from 1 to 100 for three categories: problem clarity, originality, and difficulty.

 

The rating for Alice's challenge is the triplet a = (a[0], a[1], a[2]), and the rating for Bob's challenge is the triplet b = (b[0], b[1], b[2]).

 

The task is to find their comparison points by comparing a[0] with b[0], a[1] with b[1], and a[2] with b[2].

 

If a[i] > b[i], then Alice is awarded 1 point.

If a[i] < b[i], then Bob is awarded 1 point.

If a[i] = b[i], then neither person receives a point.

Comparison points is the total points a person earned.

Given a and b, determine their respective comparison points.

Example

a = [1, 2, 3]

b = [3, 2, 1]

For elements *0*, Bob is awarded a point because a[0] .

For the equal elements a[1] and b[1], no points are earned.

Finally, for elements 2, a[2] > b[2] so Alice receives a point.

The return array is [1, 1] with Alice's score first and Bob's second.

Function Description

Complete the function compareTriplets in the editor below.

compareTriplets has the following parameter(s):

int a[3]: Alice's challenge rating

int b[3]: Bob's challenge rating

Return

int[2]: Alice's score is in the first position, and Bob's score is in the second.

Input Format

The first line contains 3 space-separated integers, a[0], a[1], and a[2], the respective values in triplet a.

The second line contains 3 space-separated integers, b[0], b[1], and b[2], the respective values in triplet 

Constraints

1 ≤ a[i] ≤ 100

1 ≤ b[i] ≤ 100

Sample Input 0

5 6 7

3 6 10

Sample Output 0

1 1

Explanation 0

In this example:

a=(a[0],a[1],a[2])=(5,6,7)

b=(b[0],b[1],b[2])=(3,6,10)

Now, let's compare each individual score:

a[0]>b[0], so Alice receives  point.

a[1]=b[1], so nobody receives a point.

a[2]

Alice's comparison score is , and Bob's comparison score is . Thus, we return the array .

 

Sample Input 1

17 28 30

99 16 8

Sample Output 1

2 1

Explanation 1

Comparing the  0th elements,  17<99 so Bob receives a point.

Comparing the 1st  and  2nd elements, 28>16 and 30>8  so Alice receives two points.

The return array is [2,1]
