Switch branches/tags

Name already in use

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Are you sure you want to create this branch?

Implement strStr().
Return the index of the first occurrence of needle in haystack, or -1 if needle is not part of haystack.
Example 1:
Input: haystack = "hello", needle = "ll"
Output: 2
Example 2:
Input: haystack = "aaaaa", needle = "bba"
Output: -1
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().
My code:
class Solution:
def strStr(self, haystack, needle):
"""
:type haystack: str
:type needle: str
:rtype: int
"""
if needle=="":
return 0
length=len(needle)
length2=len(haystack)
if length2==length:
if haystack==needle:
return 0
else:
return -1
for i in range(length2-length+1):
if haystack[i:i+length]==needle:
return i
return -1
