Leetcode Implement strStr()

Implement strStr().

Returns the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack.

解题思路：

解题想法是，从haystack的第一个位置，开始逐个判断是不是子串。如果整个子串都匹配了，那么就返回，否则继续往下挪位置。

Complexity: O(mn) , m is the length of haystack, n is the length of needle

还有一个KMP解法，算法复杂度很好，但目前没研究。以后再说。

Java code:

public int strStr(String haystack, String needle) {
if( haystack == null || needle == null || needle.length() == 0 ) {
return 0;
}
for(int i = 0; i < haystack.length(); i++) {
if(i + needle.length() > haystack.length()) {
return -1;
}
int m = i;
for(int j = 0; j < needle.length(); j++) {
if(needle.charAt(j) == haystack.charAt(m)){
if(j == needle.length()-1) {
return i;
}
m++;
}else {
break;
}
}
}
return -1;
}
