/**
 * Created by gouthamvidyapradhan on 25/03/2017.
 * Given a non-empty string check if it can be constructed by taking a substring of it and appending multiple copies of the substring together. You may assume the given string consists of lowercase English letters only and its length will not exceed 10000.
 * <p>
 * Example 1:
 * Input: "abab"
 * <p>
 * Output: True
 * <p>
 * Explanation: It's the substring "ab" twice.
 * Example 2:
 * Input: "aba"
 * <p>
 * Output: False
 * Example 3:
 * Input: "abcabcabcabc"
 * <p>
 * Output: True
 * <p>
 * Explanation: It's the substring "abc" four times. (And the substring "abcabc" twice.)
