Write a C# Sharp program to find the position of a specified word in a given string.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;

namespace exercises
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Declare and initialize a string variable
            string str1 = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";

            // Display the original string
            Console.WriteLine("Original string: " + str1);

            // Display the position of the word 'fox' in the string
            Console.WriteLine("Position of the word 'fox' in the said string: " + test(str1, "fox"));

            // Display the position of the word 'The' in the string
            Console.WriteLine("Position of the word 'The' in the said string: " + test(str1, "The"));

            // Display the position of the word 'lazy' in the string
            Console.WriteLine("Position of the word 'lazy' in the said string: " + test(str1, "lazy"));
        }

        // Define a method 'test' that takes a string argument 'text' and a string argument 'word', and returns the position of the word in the text
        public static int test(string text, string word)
        {
            // Split the input text into words and find the index (position) of the specified word
            // Adding +1 to make the position index human-readable (starting from 1 instead of 0)
            return Array.IndexOf(text.Split(' '), word) + 1;
        }
    }
}

Sample Output:

Original string: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Position of the word 'fox' in the said string: 4
Position of the word 'The' in the said string: 1
Position of the word 'lazy' in the said string: 8
