Python3 Program for Check if a string can be obtained by rotating another string d places

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

Given two strings str1 and str2 and an integer d, the task is to check whether str2 can be obtained by rotating str1 by d places (either to the left or to the right).

Examples:

Input: str1 = "abcdefg", str2 = "cdefgab", d = 2 
Output: Yes 
Rotate str1 2 places to the left.

Input: str1 = "abcdefg", str2 = "cdfdawb", d = 6 
Output: No 

Approach: An approach to solve the same problem has been discussed here. In this article, reversal algorithm is used to rotate the string to the left and to the right in O(n). If any one of the rotations of str1 is equal to str2 then print Yes else print No.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  


Output
Yes

Time Complexity: O(n), where n represents the size of the given string.
Auxiliary Space: O(n), where n represents the size of the given string.
