Why does the leading 'a' change to a 'c'? Is that a mistake? I'll assume its a
typo.
You want string slicing.
base = 'a'
extra = 'ab'
print( base[:-len(extra)] + extra

Thanks the solution i.e using zfill() looks simple :) , we have a check
that will take care of user input than's for noticing that

Yes , thanks for noticing.

Why would you expect that? Concatenation means "joining together", so
>>> "foo" + "bar"
'foobar'
No other mangling of either of your original strings is going to happen;
there is no magic going on here.
