Here's the error.
Loop variable "item" contains the actual character in word1. The
syntax "item in word2" checks if this character is _anywhere_ in
word2. What you want to do is rewriting this loop so it checks
character per character. Since it's for homework, I don't want to ruin
your grades by giving you a solution. Try it yourself first.
To see what I mean, try running getDiff("abcd", "dcba").
