Index of an Element in String Java

Question

Hello SoloLearn friends!

I am trying to return the position/index for a word in a sentence. In my code below, I get the positon/index one less than the correct number.
For example, for sentence "I like listening to music!", correct position for "music" is 5 but my program returns 4.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

public class Challenge {
public static String findWord(String sentence) {
String[] strArray = sentence.split(" ");
for (int i = 1; i < strArray.length; i++){
if (strArray[i].equals("music")) return "I found music at " + i + "!";
}return "I can't find music";
}
}

Answer 1

GE12 if you write i = 1 in for loop it doesn't mean that position will change.

i = 1 means 2nd position in Java
i = 0 means 1st position

See the Example:

Answer 2

GE12 Index start from 0 in Java. So music is on 4th position.

To get 5 just print i + 1 instead of i

Answer 3

Thanks for the code example AJ Anant.
Adding +1 to i in the return statement worked!

@AJ Anant Unfortunately I get the same results (in test cases) with index from 0 :(
