String Position Guidance

[fahmankhan75]

I have this following code from the c++ reference page. In this code, I have str.assign(base,10,9) I have three parameters with second parameter(10) being the position. My question is that when it says position 10, where would it be on my string. Do I count it from 0 or 1, when getting position 10?

  
  std::string str;
  std::string base="The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.";

  // used in the same order as described above:

  str.assign(base);
  std::cout << str << '\n';

  str.assign(base,10,9);
  std::cout << str << '\n';         // "brown fox"

[long double main]

The first character is position 0.

So position 10 would be the 11^th character.
