Prompt user to input a string and a character then display the 3 positions of occurrence of the input character

Hint: You could find yourself needing the assistance of more than a single string function.

Example 1:

• Sample Input:
“Hippopotamus”
“p”

• Sample Output:
“The letter p has occurred in positions 2, 3 and 5”
Example 2:
• Sample Input:
“Glasses”
“s”

• Sample Output:
“The letter s has occurred in positions 3, 4 and 6”

Not a problem. I didn't test it, just wrote it from memory. I hope it works for you. You were definitely on the right track. Just needed the correct method of determining the individual character.

• Sample Output:
“The letter s has occurred in positions 3, 4 and 6”

The output formatting is an another thing. You have four cases:
A. 0: "does not occur"
B. 1: "occurs in position X"
C. 2: "occurs in positions X and Y"
D. >2: "occurs in positions ZZ and Y", where ZZ is a comma separated list with at least two entries

You don't know which format you have to use before you have checked the whole word.
