/**
 * 28. Implement strStr()
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/implement-strstr/
 * Difficulty: Easy
 *
 * Return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle
 * is not part of haystack.
 *
 * 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().
