Problem

Given two strings s and goal, return true if and only if s can become goal after some number of shifts on s. A shift on s consists of moving the leftmost character of s to the rightmost position.
  • For example, if s = "abcde", then it will be "bcdea" after one shift.

Examples

Constraints

  • 1 <= s.length, goal.length <= 100
