read again the description, what is it that you should find?

3

Letter position, i don’t understand

4

the description says " pass text[0] to the function.", did you do that?

[quote=“ilenia, post:4, topic:657447, full:true”]
the description says " pass text[0] to the function.", did you do that?
[/quote] Yes I tried that, it keeps writing error and I tried to see other people how they succeeded for me, it doesn’t work

6

But you didn’t, you need to use square brackets to access a character of the string, you used round brackets

alphabet.find(‘a’)?

8

you need to pass text[0] to the function, exactly text[0], written like that with the square brackets, not the round brackets like you did

9

alphabet.find(text(‘a’))?

Sorry I’m trying to understand as best I can since I’m French speaking

10

no, text[0] has to be the argument of find

11

alphabet.find(text(0))?

12

(0) and [0] are not the same.

13

I just have to put the bracket in place

14

I don’t understand, what are you asking?

you need to use [] square brackets there
