leetcode028：Implement strStr()

问题描述

Implement strStr().


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


Update (2014-11-02):
The signature of the function had been updated to return the index instead of the pointer. If you still see your function signature returns a char * or String, please click the reload button  to reset your code definition.

分析

查找字符串needle在haystack第一次出现的位置索引。这里需要用到已匹配部分的历史信息，从而减少字符比较次数。举例：haystack：abcdabXXX，needle：abcdabXXX，这里我们可以利用的历史信息即为ab,这样下次开始比较时从ab开始匹配。

代码

这里m用来记录失败匹配时已匹配部分有多少无需再比较的部分的字符数，上述例子m=2.
