Is there an index function in Java script like the one in Turing tat i can use for a hangman game?

Javascript is not Java. Also, for those not familiar with Turing's "index" function, please provide a description of what you wish to accomplish.

I'd guess you're looking for the String.indexOf() method, which returns the index of the first occurence of either a given character or a given string within a string, or -1 for no occurence. For example:

code:

String s = "Hello, world!";
System.out.println(s.indexOf('o')); //outputs 4

Or if you're talking about JavaScript...

JavaScript:

var str="Java is not JavaScript"
document.write(str.indexOf("Java"))

The method works the exact same way as the Java example posted by Corvillus.
