C# 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.

C#

// C# program to check if two given strings
// are rotations of each other
using System;

class GFG {

    /* Function checks if passed strings
    (str1 and str2) are rotations of
    each other */
    static bool areRotations(String str1,
                                 String str2)
    {

        // There lengths must be same and
        // str2 must be a substring of
        // str1 concatenated with str1.
        return (str1.Length == str2.Length )
             && ((str1 + str1).IndexOf(str2)
                                     != -1);
    }

    // Driver method
    public static void Main ()
    {
        String str1 = "FGABCDE";
        String str2 = "ABCDEFG";

        if (areRotations(str1, str2))
            Console.Write("Strings are"
            + " rotation s of each other");
        else
            Console.Write("Strings are "
           + "not rotations of each other");
    }
}

Output:

Strings are rotations of each other

Time Complexity: O(n*n), where n is the length of the string.
Auxiliary Space: O(n)

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 substring in a string of length n where length of substring is assumed to be smaller than the string.
