Hi there, it should be mentioned that there is another function that does the same action as `find()`, which is called `index()`.

Like the very similar function `find()`, it finds the first appearance of the word. Look at the example to clarify its usage:

string = "I can manage everything"

manage = string.index('manage')
everything = string.index('everything')

print("The index of the word manage is", manage)
print("The index of the word everything is", everything)

As you may have recognized, the `index()` function has the following syntax: `string.index('word')`.

> Note
>
> The `index()` function returns the **first occurrence of the word** in the string, and the valuable point is that **it throws an exception if the word is not found**.

This course is going to help you dive deeper into data types and try to work with them. Here you will learn basic operations and all ins and outs of numbers, boolean data type, and strings. This course consists of a lot of practical tasks after which you will become a skillful programmer.

Numeric data types are crucial in Python, so it is important to start with them. Here you will work with simple math operations and find out the purposes of learning different types of numerical data.

Mastering boolean data types and logical operations in Python. You'll learn how to work with True and False, apply logical operators like and, or, and not, and understand how operator precedence works in complex expressions.

Strings are an essential part of Python programming, allowing you to work with text data. In this section, you'll learn how to manipulate strings, extract characters, slice words, and search for specific phrases.

This chapter consists of practical tasks that combine all the examined topics together with a bit of theory.
