10. find() - Returns the index of the first occurrence of a substring.


print("hello world".find("world")) # Output: 6

11. rfind() - Returns the index of the last occurrence of a substring.


print("hello world world".rfind("world")) # Output: 12

12. index() - Returns the index of the first occurrence of a substring (raises an error if not found).
print("hello world".index("world")) # Output: 6

13. rindex() - Returns the index of the last occurrence of a substring (raises an error if not found).
