Given two strings of the same length, your task is to transform one into the other by changing one character at a time, from left to right.

For example, if the input is "bubble gum" and "turtle ham", the transformation goes as follows:

bubble gum
tubble gum
turble gum
turtle gum
turtle hum
turtle ham

It is actually simple.
Say s = "bubble gum" and t = "turtle ham".

You should perform an iteration. At step n you have to take

The n-prefix of s, that is the left part of s before the n^th item.
The n^th item of t.
The n-suffix of s, that is the right part of s after the n^th item.

and concatenate them.

this in Pythonese translates to

Python

s = s[:i] + t[i:i+1] + s[i+1:]

We are more than willing to help those that are stuck: but that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.
