28. Leetcode Solution in cpp

==================================================================

description:

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 = "leetcode", needle = "leeto"
Output: -1
Explanation: "leeto" did not occur in "leetcode", so we return -1.

Constraints:

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

==================================================================

solution:

class Solution {
 public:
  int strStr(string haystack, string needle) {
    const int m = haystack.length();
    const int n = needle.length();

    for (int i = 0; i < m - n + 1; i++)
      if (haystack.substr(i, n) == needle)
        return i;

    return -1;
  }
};
