Merge Strings Alternately
You are given two strings word1 and word2. Merge the strings by adding letters in alternating order, starting with word1. If one string is longer than the other, append the additional letters onto the end of the merged string.
Return the merged string.
Example 1
Input
word1 = "abc", word2 = "pqr"Output
"apbqcr"The strings are merged by alternating characters from
word1 and word2, producing apbqcr.Example 2
Input
word1 = "ab", word2 = "pqrs"Output
"apbqrs"Since
word2 is longer, the remaining characters rs are appended to the end.Constraints
- 1 <= word1.length, word2.length <= 100
- word1 and word2 consist of lowercase English letters.
