So okay the questions says..... "Define the function of two variables INDEX(C,S) as follows: The variables C can be any single character; S can be any character string. INDEX(C,S) is the position in string S of the first occurrence of the character C. If S does not contain the character C, the value of INDEX is 0." Let S = "MISSISSIPPI" and T= "BULLETIN". now it says find INDEX("I", S)??? am counting the letters of I then S... Someone please explain thanks.

          INDEX("I", S) = "the index of the first occurrence of "I" in string S"



          Since S = "MISSISSIPPI", we have INDEX("I", S) = 2.



          More examples:



          INDEX("S", S) = 3,

          INDEX("Z", S) = 0,

          INDEX("P", S) = 9.
