One Away Transformation Problem

Given two strings, A and B, determine whether A can be transformed into B by performing at most one of the following operations (including zero operations):

1. Delete a character from any position. 2. Replace a character with any other character. 3. Insert a character at any position.

Input:

Input begins with a single integer T, which stands for the number of test cases. Each test case has two lines: the first line is a string A, and the second line is a string B.

Output:

For each test case, output "True" if string A can be transformed into string B, "False" otherwise.

Example:

Input:
T = 1
A = "pale"
B = "ple"
Output:
True

Constraints:

  • 1 ≤ T ≤ 100
  • 1 ≤ |A| ≤ 104
  • 1 ≤ |B| ≤ 104
  • Both strings contain only lowercase English letters.

Note:

You do not need to print anything; it has already been handled. Just implement the function provided.
