Implement strstr() Function in C Problem Statement

Given two strings A and B, find the index of the first occurrence of A in B. If A is not present in B, return -1.

Example:

Input:
A = "bc", B = "abcddbc"
Output:
1
Explanation:

The string A is found at index 1 and 5 (0-based index) in string B, but we return 1 as it is the first occurrence.

Input:

The first line contains an integer 'T' which denotes the number of test cases or queries to be run. Then, the T test cases follow. 
The first and only line of each test case contains two strings A and B, separated by a single space.

Output:

For each test case, print the index of the first occurrence of A in B. If string A is not present in string B then print -1.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 100
  • 1 <= |A|, |B| <= 5 * 10^4
  • Time limit: 1 second
Note:
You do not need to print anything. It has already been taken care of. Just implement the given function.
