Unlucky year in Berland is such a year that its number n can be represented as n = xa + yb, where a and b are non-negative integer numbers.
For example, if x = 2 and y = 3 then the years 4 and 17 are unlucky (4 = 20 + 31, 17 = 23 + 32 = 24 + 30) and year 18 isn't unluckyas there is no such representation for it.
Such interval of years that there are no unlucky years in it is called The Golden Age.
You should write a program which will find maximum length of The Golden Age which starts no earlier than the year l and ends no later than the year r. If all years in the interval [l, r] are unlucky then the answer is 0.
The first line contains four integer numbers x, y, l and r (2 ≤ x, y ≤ 1018, 1 ≤ l ≤ r ≤ 1018).
Print the maximum length of The Golden Age within the interval [l, r].
If all years in the interval [l, r] are unlucky then print 0.
2 3 1 10
1
3 5 10 22
8
2 3 3 5
0
In the first example the unlucky years are 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10. So maximum length of The Golden Age is achived in the intervals [1, 1], [6, 6] and [8, 8].
In the second example the longest Golden Age is the interval [15, 22].
分別對r以內x的a次方和y的b次方進行枚舉,構造兩個數組,100即可滿足。然後枚舉兩個數組的和,統計在[l,r]範圍內的數,在求最大值。
