public class StringUtils {
public static int getCharacterPosition(String input, char ch){
int index=input.indexOf(ch);
int position= index!=-1?index+1:index;
return position;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String input="I Love You!";
System.out.println(getCharacterPosition(input,'L'));
System.out.println(getCharacterPosition(input,'!'));
System.out.println(getCharacterPosition(input,'K'));
}
}
