Implement strstr Problem & Solution

Implement strstr(). Return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack.

See the implement strstr problem on LeetCode.

C++ Solution

#pragma GCC optimize("Ofast")
#pragma GCC optimization("unroll-loops")

static const int _=[](){std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(nullptr);cout.tie(nullptr);return 0;}();

class Solution {
public:
  int strStr(string haystack, string needle) {
    if (needle.empty()) {
      return 0;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i <= (int)(haystack.size() - needle.size()); ++i) {
      bool ok = true;
      for (int j = 0; j < needle.size(); ++j) {
        ok &= haystack[i + j] == needle[j];
        if (!ok) {
          break;
        }
      }

      if (ok) {
        return i;
      }
    }

    return -1;
  }
};
