The problem

You are given two 0-indexed integer arrays nums1 and nums2 of length n. A range [l, r] (inclusive) where 0 <= l <= r < n is balanced if: For every i in the range [l, r], you pick either nums1[i] or nums2[i].

Example

Input
nums1 = [1,2,5], nums2 = [2,6,3]
Output
3
Explanation
The balanced ranges are:
