Given a text and a search term (both Strings) as well as a starting index, find the index where the search term occurs within the text at or after the starting index. Return -1 if not found under these conditions.


HINT

Strings have a method called indexOf() which you should use here.  Specifically you want the overload with two parameters, which searches for something starting at some location.  The two-parameter overload is no longer required knowledge on the AP exam (the one-parameter version only is required), but it's really useful.
public int indexOf(String str, int fromIndex)

apcsaStringsOccurrenceAfter("s", "s", 0) → 0
apcsaStringsOccurrenceAfter("s", "b", 0) → -1
apcsaStringsOccurrenceAfter("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", "quick", 20) → -1

...Save, Compile, Run (ctrl-enter)

public int apcsaStringsOccurrenceAfter(String text, String searchterm, int index) { }
