Slot Game Problem Statement

You are given a slot machine with four slots, each containing one of the colors Red (R), Yellow (Y), Green (G), or Blue (B). You must guess the colors without prior knowledge. For each correct guess in the correct slot, you score a 'perfect hit' worth 2 points. For guessing a correct color but in the wrong slot, you score a 'pseudo-hit' worth 1 point.

Your task is to calculate the total score based on your guess against the correct slot colors.

Example:

Input:

Original String = “RGYB”
Guess String = “YGRR”

Output:

4

Explanation:

The second slot in both strings matches perfectly, resulting in a perfect hit. The guess string includes 'Y', a color from the original string but in a different slot, counting as a pseudo-hit. Similarly, two 'R' guesses partially match the single 'R' in the original, resulting in additional pseudo hits. Total points = 2 (perfect) + 1 (pseudo) + 1 (pseudo) = 4.

Constraints:

1 ≤ T ≤ 5

Each string, 'original' and 'guess', has a length of 4

Time limit: 1 second

Note:

You are not required to print anything; just implement the function to determine the score.

Accepted Answer

Calculate total score based on guessing colors in a slot machine.

Iterate through each slot in the original and guess strings to compare colors.
Count perfect hits when color matches in correct slot, and pseudo-hits when color matches in different slot.
Calculate total score by adding perfect hits and pseudo-hits.
Handle edge cases like invalid input strings or exceeding constraints.
