Almost! The key here is to remember that counting indexes start at 0!

So, looking at your string,

  • a == [0]
  • b == [1]
  • c == [2]

.... can you figure it out from there?

Hello

The question not clear as I am not taking same course.

here is something that may help. Please run this code

var1 = "abcdef"

a_list = list(var1)

for a_letter in var1:

print(a_letter)

for a_letter in a_list:

print("the index is {} and the value is {}".format(a_list.index(a_letter), a_letter))

and check the print out. this should guide you

if this answers your question, please mark the question as answered.
