Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
The find() method returns the lowest index of the substring if it is found in given string. If its is not found then it returns -1.
Syntax :
str.find(sub,start,end)
Parameters :
sub : It’s the substring which needs to be searched in the given string.
start : Starting position where sub is needs to be checked within the string.
end : Ending position where suffix is needs to be checked within the string.
NOTE : If start and end indexes are not provided then by default it takes 0 and length-1 as starting and ending indexes where ending indxes is not included in our search.
Returns:
returns the lowest index of the substring if it is found in given string. If it’s not found then it returns -1.
The find() method is similar to index(). The only difference is find() returns -1 if searched string is not found and index() throws an exception in this case.
CODE 1
word = 'geeks for geeks' # returns first occurrence of Substringresult = word.find('geeks')print ("Substring 'geeks' found at index:", result ) result = word.find('for')print ("Substring 'for ' found at index:", result ) # How to use find()if (word.find('pawan') != -1): print ("Contains given substring ")else: print ("Doesn't contains given substring") |
Substring 'geeks' found at index: 0 Substring 'for ' found at index: 6 Doesn't contains given substring
CODE 2
word = 'geeks for geeks' # Substring is searched in 'eks for geeks' print(word.find('ge', 2)) # Substring is searched in 'eks for geeks' print(word.find('geeks ', 2)) # Substring is searched in 's for g' print(word.find('g', 4, 10)) # Substring is searched in 's for g' print(word.find('for ', 4, 11)) |
