Last update on March 21 2025 12:52:15 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Find character indices in string.

Write a Python program to print the index of a character in a string.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a string 'str1'.
str1 = "w3resource"

# Iterate through the characters of the string using enumeration.
# 'index' contains the position of the character, and 'char' contains the character itself.
for index, char in enumerate(str1):
    # Print the current character, its position, and a descriptive message.
    print("Current character", char, "position at", index)

Sample Output:

Current character w position at 0                                                                             
Current character 3 position at 1                                                                             
Current character r position at 2                                                                             
Current character e position at 3                                                                             
Current character s position at 4                                                                             
Current character o position at 5                                                                             
Current character u position at 6                                                                             
Current character r position at 7                                                                             
Current character c position at 8                                                                             
Current character e position at 9
