Composing squared strings

Instructions:

A squared string is a string of n lines, each substring being n characters long. We are given two n-squared strings.

Example:

s1 = "abcd\nefgh\nijkl\nmnop" s2 = "qrst\nuvwx\nyz12\n3456"

Let us build a new string strng of size (n + 1) x n in the following way:

• The first line of strng has the first char of the first line of s1 plus the chars of the last line of s2.
• The second line of strng has the first two chars of the second line of s1 plus the chars of the penultimate line of s2 except the last char.
• and so on until the nth line of strng has the n chars of the nth line of s1 plus the first char of the first line of s2.

Calling this function compose(s1, s2) we have:

compose(s1, s2) -> "a3456\nefyz1\nijkuv\nmnopq"
or printed:
abcd    qrst  -->  a3456
efgh    uvwx       efyz1
ijkl    yz12       ijkuv
mnop    3456       mnopq

Solution:

额，我真的是个菜鸡，刷这道7kyu的题很吃力呀，题目大意就是给定一个字符串把它组成一个方形字符串。第一行string有s1的第一行加s2的最后一行的字符的第一个字符。第二行string有s1第二行的前两个字符加上s2的倒数第二行的字符，除了最后一个字符。依此类推，直到第n行string具有s1的第n行的n个字符加上s2的第一行的第一个字符。

def compose(s1, s2):
    s1 = s1.split("\n")
    s2 = s2.split("\n")[::-1]
    l = []
    for i in range(len(s1)):
        l.append(s1[i][:i+1] + s2[i][:(len(s1)-i)])
    return "\n".join(l)
