How Do I find Index of a character in string?
#4
if you have a string 'mystr' for example,
mystr = 'hello zippy'
a string is just a list of characters,
so first character is mystr[0]
print(mystr[0])
will give you a 'h'
print(mystr[1])
will give you a 'e'
you can find index of the z in ziggy with:
idx = mystr.index('zippy')
print(mystr[idx])
will give you a 'z'
