To solve this problem, we need to find the maximum number of overlapping characters between two strings. Specifically, we check the longest suffix of one string that matches the prefix of the other string, and vice versa, then take the maximum of these values.
The approach involves two main checks:
We stop at the first valid match for each check since we start from the longest possible length, ensuring we get the maximum overlap for that case. The overall maximum from both checks gives the desired result.
def max_overlap(A, B):
lenA = len(A)
lenB = len(B)
max_k = 0
# Check A's suffix and B's prefix
for k in range(min(lenA, lenB), 0, -1):
if A.endswith(B[:k]):
max_k = k
break
# Check B's suffix and A's prefix
for k in range(min(lenA, lenB), 0, -1):
if B.endswith(A[:k]):
if k > max_k:
max_k = k
break
return max_k
# Example usage (you can replace these with your input strings)
A = input().strip()
B = input().strip()
print(max_overlap(A, B))
This approach efficiently finds the maximum overlap with a time complexity of O(min(n, m)^2) (where n and m are the lengths of the strings), which is feasible for typical input sizes. The use of string slicing and endswith method simplifies the implementation and makes it readable.
