I was asked a question about the following. If a user types in a n digit number on the telephone, how do you write a function to deduce if the number constitutes a valid word. For example, if the user enters 123, then can a valid word be made out of (a/b/c) + (d/e/f) + (g/h/i)

Given a very long string composed of numbers as characters, find the four character substring that has the largest multiple. For example, given the string "809723", the two char substring with the largest multiple is "97", having a multiple 9*7 = 63.

Implement a method 'find' that will find the starting index (zero based) where the second list occurs as a sub-list in the first list. It should return -1 if the sub-list cannot be found. Arguments are always given, not empty. Sample Input 1 list1 = (1, 2, 3) list2 = (2, 3) Sample Output 1 1 Explanation As second list (2, 3) is sub-list in first list (1, 2, 3) at index 1 Sample Input 2 list1 = (1, 2, 3) list2 = (3, 2) Sample Output 2 -1
