Question

What does the function index do?

Answer 1

Or is it just a string for an assignment?

Answer 2

Can we assume you are talking about python?

Answer 3

@eSpeX In the 6.189 area, generally so.

Answer 4

If you mean the index method, it is for searching inside a string or other list and reporting where something is.

Just looking for clarification. Wasn't sure if the question had been in the wrong section or whether we were talking about a "function index" or the "function, index". :)
