Question

-Previously - java class with one static method.

In the static method called beforeThis. take 2 strings as inputs and return a string.

Code for the method should look for 1st input String within the 2nd input, and return everything from 2nd input string that comes before.

ex: 1st input : "tennis"

2nd input : "A tabletennis is in the basement"

method returns: "A table"
