Description:
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().
题意:模拟strStr()函数的功能,找出字符串str1在字符串str中首次出现的位置,返回首个字符的下标;
解法:最简单的办法就是从串的左侧一直匹配到串的右侧,直到找到匹配项或者遍历完一次字符串;
class Solution {
public int strStr(String haystack, String needle) {
if(needle == null){
return 0;
}
int st,ed;
st = 0;
ed = needle.length();
while(ed <= haystack.length()){
if(haystack.substring(st, ed).equals(needle)){
return st;
}
st++;
ed++;
}
return -1;
}
}
