Given 2 strings, a and b, return the number of the positions where they contain the same length 2 substring. So "xxcaazz" and "xxbaaz" yields 3, since the "xx", "aa", and "az" substrings appear in the same place in both strings. string_match('xxcaazz', 'xxbaaz') → 3 string_match('abc', 'abc') → 2 string_match('abc', 'axc') → 0 ...Save, Compile, Run          Show Solution def string_match(a, b): See also Python Example Code.
