Implement strStr().
Return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack.
Example 1:
Input: haystack = “hello”, needle = “ll”
Output: 2
Example 2:
Input: haystack = “aaaaa”, needle = “bba”
Output: -1
Clarification:
What should we return when needle is an empty string? This is a great question to ask during an interview.
For the purpose of this problem, we will return 0 when needle is an empty string. This is consistent to C’s strstr() and Java’s indexOf().
public int strStr(String haystack, String needle) {
if(needle.length() > haystack.length()){
return -1;
}
for(int i = 0; ; i++){
for(int j = 0; j <= needle.length(); j++){
if(j == needle.length()) return i;
if(i + j == haystack.length()) return -1;
if(needle.charAt(j) != haystack.charAt(i + j)) break;
}
}
}
