		// passing substring
		int index1 = s1.indexOf("is");// returns the index of is substring
		int index2 = s1.indexOf("index");// returns the index of index substring
		System.out.println(index1 + "  " + index2);

Notes:

• The java string indexOf() method returns index of given character value or substring.
• If index is not found, it returns -1. The index counter starts from zero.
• There are four types of indexOf method in java.
• int indexOf(int ch): It returns the index of the first occurrence of character ch in a String.
• int indexOf(int ch, int fromIndex): It returns the index of first occurrence if character ch, starting from the specified index “fromIndex”.
• int indexOf(String str): Returns the index of string str in a particular String.
• int indexOf(String str, int fromIndex): Returns the index of string str, starting from the specified index “fromIndex”.
