Note: If multiple instances of the extra character exist, return the index of the first occurrence of the character in the longer string.

Constraints:

  • 0≤0 \leq str1.length, str2.length ≤1000\leq 1000
  • Either str2.length == str1.length + 1, or, str1.length == str2.length + 1
  • The strings consist of lowercase English letters.
