A Program to check if strings are rotations of each other or not
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.

Strings are rotations of each other
Method 2(Using STL):
Algorithm :
1. If the size of both the strings is not equal, then it can never be possible.
2. Push the original string into a queue q1.
3. Push the string to be checked inside another queue q2.
4. Keep popping q2‘s and pushing it back into it till the number of such operations are less than the size of the string.
5. If q2 becomes equal to q1 at any point during these operations, it is possible. Else not.

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 the 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 substring in a string of length n where length of substring is assumed to be smaller than the string.
Method 3:
Algorithm:
1.Find all the positions of first character of original string in the string to be checked.
2.For every position found, consider it to be the starting index of the string to be checked.
3.Beginning from the new starting index, compare both strings and check whether they are equal or not.
(Suppose original string to be s1,string to be checked be s2,n is length of strings and j is the position of first character of s1 in s2,
then for i < (length of original string) ,check if s1[i]==s2[(j+1)%n). Return false if any character mismatch is found, else return true.
4.Repeat 3rd step for all positions found.

Time Complexity:
Time Complexity will be n*n in the worst case, where n is the length of the string.
