389. Find the Difference

Given two strings s and t which consist of only lowercase letters.

String t is generated by random shuffling string s and then add one more letter at a random position.

Find the letter that was added in t.

Example:

Input:
s = "abcd"
t = "abcde"

Output:
e

Explanation:
'e' is the letter that was added.

Solution: XOR

import itertools

    def findTheDifference(self, s, t):
        """
        :type s: str
        :type t: str

        diff = 0
        for char in itertools.chain(s, t):
            diff ^= ord(char)
        return chr(diff)
