W=1
X=str(input('Wich charactere do you search in I? '))
for A in I:
if A!=X:
W+=1
elif A==X:
return W
Print(W)

But it don't work Can you help me please?

Answer 1

here you go..

for A in I:
if A!=X:
W+=1
elif A==X:
print(W)

Answer 2

A more simplified code would be:
l = [chr(i) for i in range(ord('a'), ord('z')+1)]+[':', '/', ' ']
x = input('Which.. : ')
for i in range(len(l)):
if(l[i]==x):
print(i)
break

Answer 3

Aymane Boukrouh, there is a syntax error in your code sample:

l = [chr(i) for i in range(ord('a'), ord('z')+1))]+[':', '/', ' '] # here is a rounded bracket too much
^
should be:

l = [chr(i) for i in range(ord('a'), ord('z')+1)]+[':', '/', ' ']

Answer 4

Lothar ah sorry, I didn't check the code, usually the text editor helps me with that, thanks!

Answer 5

One line code:

print([*[chr(i) for i in range(ord("a"),ord("z")+1)],":","/"," "].index(input("Wich character do you search?\n"))+1)

Answer 6

Thank You all i solved it with tout help

Answer 7

Either write in french or english please.
You have a syntax error, it's print not Print.
Also, applying str on an input is useless because input is by default a string.
EDIT:
I just saw the return W line, you cannot use return outside a function, you should probably go back and study python functions
