- O(n^2)
 - Given s1 and s2
 - For each substring(i, s2.length) check if substring is in s1
  - if so print substring

- O(n) #on average
 - Given s1 and s2
 - Create suffix hash of s1
  - Ex: s1 = 'abc'
   - suffix hash = { 'a': 'a', 'abc' : 'abc': 'b': 'b', 'bc': 'bc': 'c': 'c' }
  - For each suffix in s2, check hash if exist print

An update to the above code ::

s1.reverse();
s2.reverse();
string s;
for (int i = 0; i < s1.length()&&s2.length(); i++) {
    if (s1[i] == s2[i]) {
        s+=s1[i];
    }
    else {
        break;
    }
}
s.reverse();
cout<<s;
