Answer to Question #206802 in Python for siav

Question

Write a program to check the overlapping of one string's suffix with the prefix of another string.Input

The first line of the input will contain a string A.

The second line of the input will contain a string B.Output

The output should contain overlapping word if present else print "No overlapping".Explanation

For example, if the given two strings, A and B, are "ramisgood" "goodforall"

The output should be "good" as good overlaps as a suffix of the first string and prefix of next.

Sample Input 1

ramisgood

goodforall

Sample Output 1

good

Sample Input 2

finally

restforall

Sample Output 2

No overlapping

Answer 1

# Use slicing, loop and startswith() to solve the problem 
# Using loop + slicing + startswith()
import re


#string initialization
str1 =input("Enter the first string\t")
str2 = input("Enter the second string \t")


# The strings entered are printed
print("The first string  is : " + str(str1))
print("The second string is : " + str(str2))


overlapping = ''
for row in range(len(str1)):


    # Getting prefix using startswith() function
    if str2.startswith(str1[row:]):
        overlapping = str1[row:]
        break


# Displaying the result
if len(overlapping) ==0:
    print(" No Overlapped String")
else:
    print("Overlapped String  : " + str(overlapping))
