Given two strings needle and haystack, return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack.

  Example 1:

Input: haystack = "sadbutsad", needle = "sad" Output: 0 Explanation: "sad" occurs at index 0 and 6. The first occurrence is at index 0, so we return 0.

Example 2:

Input: haystack = "leetcode", needle = "leeto" Output: -1 Explanation: "leeto" did not occur in "leetcode", so we return -1.

  Constraints:

1 <= haystack.length, needle.length <= 10⁴
haystack and needle consist of only lowercase English characters.
