Build a Teacher Chatbot - Step 17

Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t know how to use indexOf( ) to find the position of the substring “learning” I can find letters but not the words. please help

Your code so far

console.log("Hi there!");

const botName = "teacherBot";

const greeting = `My name is ${botName}.`;
console.log(greeting);

const subject = "JavaScript";
const topic = "strings";

const sentence = `Today, you will learn about ${topic} in ${subject}.`;
console.log(sentence);

const strLengthIntro = `Here is an example of using the length property on the word ${subject}.`;
console.log(strLengthIntro);

console.log(subject.length);

console.log(`Here is an example of using the length property on the word ${topic}.`);
console.log(topic.length);

console.log(`Here is an example of accessing the first letter in the word ${subject}.`);

console.log(subject[0]);

console.log(`Here is an example of accessing the second letter in the word ${subject}.`);
console.log(subject[1]);

console.log(`Here is an example of accessing the last letter in the word ${subject}.`);

const lastCharacter = subject[subject.length - 1];
console.log(lastCharacter);

const learningIsFunSentence = "Learning is fun.";

console.log("Here are examples of finding the positions of substrings in the sentence.");

console.log(learningIsFunSentence.indexOf("Learning"));

The last thing the console says is

ReferenceError: fun is not defined

Why might that be?
