Find the Word Index

Hi there, it should be mentioned that there is another function that does the same action as find(), which is called index().

Like the very similar function find(), it finds the first appearance of the word. Look at the example to clarify its usage:


              1234567
            
string = "I can manage everything"

manage = string.index('manage')
everything = string.index('everything')

print("The index of the word manage is", manage)
print("The index of the word everything is", everything)

As you may have recognized, the index() function has the following syntax: string.index('word').

Note

The index() function returns the first occurrence of the word in the string, and the valuable point is that it throws an exception if the word is not found.
