Write а methоd myCаt, thаt takes twо Strings a and b as fоrmal parameters and concatenates them together. However, if the strings are different lengths, omit chars from the longer string such that it is the same length as the shorter string. Note that string a and b can be of any length: myCat("Hello", "Hi") should return "loHi"myCat("Hello", "java") should return "ellojava"myCat("java", "Hello") should return "javaello" Paste your code (main and all) into the textbox when done.
