Noob needs help!

accepts two strings and returns the character index of the position
where the second string begins in the first; returns -1 if the second string does not appear in the first.

Examples:
IN: mississippi ss OUT: 2
IN: superlative zzl OUT: -1

Code java:

---

public class Test {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String s1 = "mississippi";
		String s2 = "s";
		System.out.print(findInStr(s1, s2));
	}
	public static int findInStr(String s1, String s2) {
		char c =(char) s2; 
		if( s1.substring(1, s1.length()-1) == c ) {
			return s1.indexof(c);
		}
		else{
			return -1;
		}	
	}
}
