String s="vijay kumar";
System.out.println(s);
System.out.println(s.lastIndexOf('k');
System.out.println(s.lastIndexOf('k',4));
System.out.println(s.lastIndexOf('k',9));
}

s.lastIndexOf('k') is: 6
s.lastIndexOf('k',4) is: -1
s.lastIndexOf('k',9) is: 6

please write me how it print is:
s.lastIndexOf('k',4) is: -1
s.lastIndexOf('k',9) is: 6

s.lastIndexOf('k',4) is: -1

If you start at index position 4, and search backwards for the 'k', where would you find it? Or will you find it?

s.lastIndexOf('k',9) is: 6

If you start at index position 9, and search backwards for the 'k', where would you find it?
