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.

bool is(string hay, string nee, int i)
{
    if(hay.length()-i<nee.length())
        return false;
    for(int j = 0; j<nee.length();j++)
    {
        if(nee[j]!=hay[i])
            return false;
        i++;
    }
    return true;
}

int strStr(string haystack, string needle) {
        int len = haystack.length();
        if(len<needle.length())
            return -1;
        if(needle.length()==0)
            return 0;
        for(int i= 0;i<len-needle.length()+1;i++)
        {
            if(haystack[i]==needle[0])
                if(is(haystack,needle,i)==true)
                    return i;
        }
        return -1;
