Answer 2

Output:

-1 (Option C is correct)

Explanation:

• The find() function is used to the find the first occurrence of the word or specified value.
• Syntax: stringname.find(word or value, starting position, ending position)

• If the value is present, it returns the position of the word or specified value.

• If the value is not present, it returns -1.

Program:

f='Doctorate of Philosophy'

f.find('t',8,10)

Let us understand the program.

f='Doctorate of Philosophy' #This statement is used to declare a string f and initialize it.

#This statement is used to find whether the value 't' is present in the positions from 8 to 10 or not.

f.find('t',8,10)

But in the positions from 8 to 10, 't' is not present.

So, the find function will return -1.

To check output, use the following code.

f='Doctorate of Philosophy'

output=f.find('t',8,10)

print(output)
