// Define the Exercise17 class
public class Exercise17
{
    // Main method - entry point of the program
    public static void Main()
    {
        string str1; // Declare a variable to store the main string
        string findstr; // Declare a variable to store the substring to be found

        // Prompt the user to search for a substring within a string
        Console.Write("\n\nSearch the position of a substring within a string :\n");
        Console.Write("-------------------------------------------------------\n");

        // Ask the user to input a string
        Console.Write("Input a String: ");
        str1 = Console.ReadLine();

        // Ask the user to input a substring to be found in the string
        Console.Write("Input a substring to be found in the string: ");
        findstr = Console.ReadLine();

        // Find the index of the substring in the main string
        int index = str1.IndexOf(findstr);

        // Check if the substring is found or not
        if (index < 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The substring was not found in the given string.\n");
        }
        else
        {
            // Display the position/index where the substring was found in the main string
            Console.WriteLine("Found '{0}' in '{1}' at position {2}",
                                findstr, str1, index);
        }
    }
