Re.start() & Re.end() in Python - HackerRank Solution

 Re.start() & Re.end() in Python - HackerRank Solution
 


Problem :


start() & end()
These expressions return the indices of the start and end of the substring matched by the group.
Code :
>>> import re
>>> m = re.search(r'\d+','1234')
>>> m.end()
4
>>> m.start()
0

Task :

You are given a string S.
Your task is to find the indices of the start and end of string k in S.



Input Format :

The first line contains the string S.
The second line contains the string k.

Constraints :

  • 0 < len(s) < 100
  • 0 < len(k) < len(s)

Output Format :

Print the tuple in this format: (start _index, end _index).
If no match is found, print (-1, -1).



Sample Input :

aaadaa
aa

Sample Output :

(0, 1)  
(1, 2)
(4, 5)
