Given a string s1 and a string s2, write a snippet to say whether s2 is a rotation of s1?
(eg given s1 = ABCD and s2 = CDAB, return true, given s1 = ABCD, and s2 = ACBD , return false)
Algorithm: areRotations(str1, str2)
1. Create a temp string and store concatenation of str1 to
str1 in temp.
temp = str1.str1
2. If str2 is a substring of temp then str1 and str2 are
rotations of each other.
Example:
str1 = "ABACD"
str2 = "CDABA"
temp = str1.str1 = "ABACDABACD"
Since str2 is a substring of temp, str1 and str2 are
rotations of each other.

Output:
Strings are rotations of each other
Library Functions Used:
strstr:
strstr finds a sub-string within a string.
Prototype: char * strstr(const char *s1, const char *s2);
See http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/Labo/Leo.Liberti/public/computing/prog/c/C/MAN/strstr.htm for more details
strcat:
strncat concatenate two strings
Prototype: char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src);
See http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/Labo/Leo.Liberti/public/computing/prog/c/C/MAN/strcat.htm for more details
Time Complexity: Time complexity of this problem depends on the implementation of strstr function.
If implementation of strstr is done using KMP matcher then complexity of the above program is (-)(n1 + n2) where n1 and n2 are lengths of strings. KMP matcher takes (-)(n) time to find a substrng in a string of length n where length of substring is assumed to be smaller than the string.
