# prefix-suffix

## Instructions
|
|
|
|
A prefix is an affix which is placed before the stem of a word. Adding it to the beginning of one word changes it into another word. For example, when the prefix un- is added to the word happy, it creates the word unhappy.
|
|
|
|
A suffix is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns, adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs. Suffixes can carry grammatical information or lexical information.
|
|
|
|
Write a programs that takes 2 strings ("words") and prints if one is a prefix/suffix of the other.
|
|
|
|
### Input
|
|
|
|
- **Line 1:** The word to be checked
|
|
- **Line 2:** The potential prefix/suffix
|
|
|
|
### Output
|
|
|
|
- **Line 1:** `true` if the second word is a **prefix** of the first, `false` otherwise
|
|
- **Line 1:** `true` if the second word is a **suffix** of the first, `false` otherwise
