Example 1
Let's see the simple example.

Example 2
Let's examine a basic example by providing the position of a character as an argument.
Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string str= "Mango is my favorite fruit";
cout << str<<'\n';
cout<< " position of fruit is :";

return 0;
}

Example 3
Let's examine a basic example of locating a single character.

int main()
{
string str = "javacpptutorial";
cout << "String contains :" << str;
