The java string indexOf() method returns index of given character value or substring. If it is not found, it returns -1. The index counter starts from zero.
// Initialising String
String gfg = new String("Welcome to geeksforgeeks");
System.out.print("Found g first at position : ");
// Initial index of 'g' will print
// prints 11
System.out.println(gfg.indexOf('g'));
