Rotate String
easy
strings
Given two strings s and goal, return true if and only if s can become goal after some number of rotations.
A rotation moves the leftmost character of the string to the rightmost end. For example, rotating "abcde" once produces "bcdea".
An equivalent way to think about the problem is: goal is a rotation of s if the two strings have the same length and goal appears inside s + s.
Input / output
- Input:
s: string,goal: string - Output:
boolean
Constraints
1 <= s.length, goal.length <= 100sandgoalconsist of lowercase English letters.
Follow-up
How would you check whether goal is a rotation of s without explicitly building the doubled string s + s?
Examples
Example 1
Input: s = "abcde", goal = "cdeab"
Output: true
Example 2
Input: s = "abcde", goal = "abced"
Output: false
Example 3
Input: s = "aaaa", goal = "aaaa"
Output: true
