[C language] how to find index number (from 1) in new string.
Example :
First, I have a string = 'stayhome'
Then, the new string is 'eomhyast'
So, the index of new string (from 1) : e = 1, o = 2, m = 3, etc.
I want the output is the index of first string, but use the sequence of the second string
So, if the string is 'stayhome', then index s = 7, t = 8, a = 6, y = 5, etc.
So, if I input :
stayhome
eomhyast
Then, the output :
7 8 6 5 4 2 3 1
Are you supposed to read the inputs for the 2 strings, or are they hardcoded?
I have the code ready, but I'd like to see your code first : )
Hint:
Use strchr() from <string.h>

But as NotAPythonNinja and Ipang said, things will get different when duplicates and different case characters come into play.
For now this only works with lower case English alphabets [a-z].
Ipang here is a way to get all indexes of a char in a str. You could use strchr() as well if you want to.

Where is your code? I've been waiting ...
Use pointer arithmetic to get distance of a certain char from the string beginning. From there add 1 to the distance, because you wanted base 1 index.
I have commented the code, and made adjustments to allow duplicate letters.
