APL (28)

Takes input on two lines.

'No' 'Yes'[1+(⊂⍞)∊⌽∘A¨⍳⍴A←⍞]

Explanation:

  • A←⍞: read a line of input and store it in A
  • ⌽∘A¨⍳⍴A: Rotate A by x, for each x in [1..length A]. Gives a list, i.e. estT stTe tTes Test
  • (⊂⍞)∊: read another line of input, and see if it is in this list.
  • 1+: add one to this, giving 1 if the strings were not rotated and 2 if they were
  • 'No' 'Yes'[...]: Select either the first or second element from the list 'No' 'Yes' depending on whether the strings were rotated or not.
  • This value is output automatically.

According to the spec (same string lengths):

Perl, 42 43 chars

$.=pop;$_=(pop)x2;print+(qw'yes no')[!/$./]

If different sized strings are allowed, the solution would be:

JavaScript doesn't have a canonical host, so this answer is written as a function of two arguments. The score goes up to 60 if we disallow JS 1.7 features (expression closures).

In the SpiderMonkey shell this would be (for a score of 71):

[a,b]=readline().split(" ");print(a&&(a+a).replace(b,"")==a?"Yes":"No")
