Problem
We are given two strings, A and B.
A shift on A consists of taking string A and moving the leftmost character to the rightmost position. For example, if A = ‘abcde’, then it will be ‘bcdea’ after one shift on A. Return True if and only if A can become B after some number of shifts on A.
Example 1:
Input: A = ‘abcde’, B = ‘cdeab’
Output: true
Example 2:
Input: A = ‘abcde’, B = ‘abced’
Output: false
Note:
A and B will have length at most 100.
Pre analysis
Will Combine B with B and check whether it contains A
Post analysis
Another solution could be using brute force.

Brute Force
var rotateString = function(A, B) { if (!A.length && !B.length) { return true; } else if (!A.length || !B.length) { return false; } for (let i = 0; i < A.length; i++) { A = `${A.slice(1)}${A[0]}`; if (A === B) { return true; } } return false;};
