    "task_description": "You are given two **0-indexed** binary strings `s1` and `s2`, both of length `n`, and a positive integer `x`. You can perform any of the following operations on the string `s1` **any** number of times: Choose two indices `i` and `j`, and flip both `s1[i]` and `s1[j]`. The cost of this operation is `x`. Choose an index `i` such that `i < n - 1` and flip both `s1[i]` and `s1[i + 1]`. The cost of this operation is `1`. Return _the **minimum** cost needed to make the strings _`s1`_ and _`s2`_ equal, or return _`-1`_ if it is impossible._ **Note** that flipping a character means changing it from `0` to `1` or vice-versa. **Example 1:** ``` **Input:** s1 = \"1100011000\", s2 = \"0101001010\", x = 2 **Output:** 4 **Explanation:** We can do the following operations: - Choose i = 3 and apply the second operation. The resulting string is s1 = \"110**11**11000\". - Choose i = 4 and apply the second operation. The resulting string is s1 = \"1101**00**1000\". - Choose i = 0 and j = 8 and apply the first operation. The resulting string is s1 = \"**0**1010010**1**0\" = s2. The total cost is 1 + 1 + 2 = 4. It can be shown that it is the minimum cost possible. ``` **Example 2:** ``` **Input:** s1 = \"10110\", s2 = \"00011\", x = 4 **Output:** -1 **Explanation:** It is not possible to make the two strings equal. ``` **Constraints:** `n == s1.length == s2.length` `1 <= n, x <= 500` `s1` and `s2` consist only of the characters `'0'` and `'1'`.",
