print("'{}' was found in '{}' at position:{}".format(substr, stringSample, pos))
stringSample = "elvis presley" substr = "presley" pos = stringSample.find(substr)
print("'{}' was found in '{}' at position:{}".format(substr, stringSample, pos))
# find with start and stop specififed stringSample = "its now or never" substr = "or" pos = stringSample.find(substr,5,len(stringSample))
print("'{}' was found in '{}' at position:{}".format(substr, stringSample, pos)) |
