Create a function that returns `true` if a pair of strings constitutes a **strange pair**, and `false` otherwise. ### Examples ``` isStrangePair("ratio", "orator") ➞ true // "ratio" ends with "o" and "orator" starts with "o". // "ratio" starts with "r" and "orator" ends with "r". isStrangePair("sparkling", "groups") ➞ true isStrangePair("bush", "hubris") ➞ false isStrangePair("", "") ➞ true ``` ### Notes It should work on a pair of empty strings (they trivially share nothing).
