Answer 1

You can use the find() method and pass it a starting index which in this case would be the index of the first 'a' + 1.

Answer 2

Dragon RB ,

it is not seen as a helpful behavior when we are going to post a code, since the op has not shown a serious attempt here.

it is helpful to give hints and tips, so that the op has a chance to find a solution by himself.

Answer 3

Keith Driscoll ,

thanks for this comment from you! that is exactly the same that i am trying to do. but it has become difficult.

when i started with sololearn, one could see on what percentage stage a user in a specific tutorial is. today, you can see only `in progress...` which can mean anything from 1% up to 99%.

what also makes it difficult to find out the level of a user is the fact, that we can't see when he has started a tutorial, which could have happend some months ago.

Answer 4

Something else I always keep in mind is the OP's competence level and ability. That's why I usually break up my code examples and use lots of comments.

Answer 5

I see you string has multiple 's' in it.
Would it be fun to find ALL index of letter 's'?

Thank you so much, imaging i have 3 "a" in the sequence please how do i get the third "a" please??

Answer 7

I modify my code above to answer your question.

Answer 8

in order to find the second a, use

name = " sagir salisu "

print(name.find("a", name.find("a") + 1))

SAGIR ISAH

This may solve the problem of getting all index of occurrences of the character "a"..
