From the documentation    str find sub   start   end          Return the lowest index in the string where substring sub is found within the slice s start end   Optional arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation  Return -1 if sub is not found    So  some examples    gt  gt  gt  my str    abcdefioshgoihgs sijsiojs    gt  gt  gt  my str find  a   0  gt  gt  gt  my str find  g   10  gt  gt  gt  my str find  s   11  15  gt  gt  gt  my str find  s   15  15  gt  gt  gt  my str find  s   16  17  gt  gt  gt  my str find  s   11  14  -1
