In input you are provided with two words of the same length. Each word contains only lower-case alphabets. A shift operation will remove the first character of a word and add the same character at the end of that word. Your goal is to develop a python program that outputs the number of shift operations required on the second word to maximize the length of the longest common prefix of both the words.
