Answer 1

#!/usr/bin/python
import re

#implementatio using loop + slicing + startswith()

def overlapping(l,k):
    for char in range(len(str_A)):

 
        if str_B.startswith(str_A[char:]):
            res = str_A[char:]
            print("\nString A:", str_A)
            print("String B:", str_B)
            print("\nOverlapping String: " + str(res))
            break
    else:
        print("\nString A:", str_A)
        print("String B:", str_B)
        print ("\nNo overlapping")




print ("Input string A:")
str_A = str(input())

print("\nInput string B:")
str_B = str(input())

overlapping(str_A, str_B)
