Update alternative_string_arrange.py

Analysis of the Code
Type Hinting:

The function lacks type hints for the parameters and return type. Adding them improves readability and helps with static type checking.
Variable Naming:

The variable names such as abs_length are somewhat misleading. A name like max_length would more accurately describe its purpose.
Output List Initialization:

The use of list for output_list is good, but the name could be more descriptive, such as result_chars.
Loop Condition:

The loop iterates based on the maximum length of the two strings, which is correct, but using a single loop for the two strings may make the code clearer and more efficient.
Docstring:

The docstring is clear but could use additional details on the behavior when one string is shorter than the other.
