1616 - Split Two Strings to Make Palindrome\.
Medium
You are given two strings `a` and `b` of the same length. Choose an index and split both strings **at the same index** , splitting `a` into two strings: aprefix
and asuffix
where a = aprefix + asuffix
, and splitting `b` into two strings: bprefix
and bsuffix
where b = bprefix + bsuffix
. Check if aprefix + bsuffix
or bprefix + asuffix
forms a palindrome.
When you split a string `s` into sprefix
and ssuffix
, either ssuffix
or sprefix
is allowed to be empty. For example, if `s = "abc"`, then `"" + "abc"`, `"a" + "bc"`, `"ab" + "c"` , and `"abc" + ""` are valid splits.
Return `true` _if it is possible to form_ _a palindrome string, otherwise return_ `false`.
**Notice** that `x + y` denotes the concatenation of strings `x` and `y`.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** a = "x", b = "y"
**Output:** true **Explaination:** If either a or b are palindromes the answer is true since you can split in the following way:
aprefix = "", asuffix = "x"
bprefix = "", bsuffix = "y"
Then, aprefix + bsuffix = "" + "y" = "y", which is a palindrome.
**Example 2:**
**Input:** a = "xbdef", b = "xecab"
**Output:** false
**Example 3:**
**Input:** a = "ulacfd", b = "jizalu"
**Output:** true **Explaination:** Split them at index 3:
aprefix = "ula", asuffix = "cfd"
bprefix = "jiz", bsuffix = "alu"
Then, aprefix + bsuffix = "ula" + "alu" = "ulaalu", which is a palindrome.
**Constraints:**
* 1 <= a.length, b.length <= 105
* `a.length == b.length`
* `a` and `b` consist of lowercase English letters
