The rindex() method returns the highest index of the substring inside the string (if found). If the substring is not found, it raises an exception.
The syntax of rindex()
is:
str.rindex(sub[, start[, end]] )
1. rindex() Parameters
rindex()
method takes three parameters:
- sub – substring to be searched in the str string.
- start and end(optional) – substring is searched within
str[start:end]
2. Return Value from rindex()
- If substring exists inside the string, it returns the highest index in the string where the substring is found.
- If substring doesn’t exist inside the string, it raises a ValueError exception.
rindex()
method is similar to rfind() method for strings.
The only difference is that rfind() returns -1 if the substring is not found, whereas rindex() throws an exception.
3. Example 1: rindex() With No start and end Argument
quote = 'Let it be, let it be, let it be' result = quote.rindex('let it') print("Substring 'let it':", result) result = quote.rindex('small') print("Substring 'small ':", result)
Output
Substring 'let it': 22 Traceback (most recent call last): File "...", line 6, in <module> result = quote.rindex('small') ValueError: substring not found
Note: Index in Python starts from 0 and not 1.
4. Example 2: rindex() With start and end Arguments
quote = 'Do small things with great love' # Substring is searched in ' small things with great love' print(quote.rindex('t', 2)) # Substring is searched in 'll things with' print(quote.rindex('th', 6, 20)) # Substring is searched in 'hings with great lov' print(quote.rindex('o small ', 10, -1))
Output
25 18 Traceback (most recent call last): File "...", line 10, in <module> print(quote.rindex('o small ', 10, -1)) ValueError: substring not found
