time limit per test: 2 seconds
memory limit per test: 100 megabytes

Given two strings needle and haystack, return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack.

 

Example 1:

Input: haystack = "sadbutsad", needle = "sad"
Output: 0
Explanation: "sad" occurs at index 0 and 6.
The first occurrence is at index 0, so we return 0.


Example 2:

Input: haystack = "coderplayground", needle = "coding"
Output: -1
Explanation: "coding" did not occur in "coderplayground", so we return -1.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= haystack.length, needle.length <= 104
  • haystack and needle consist of only lowercase English characters.
