I don't know if there is a right way, but according to this, "(" is located at position 5 and 11 mystrng="abin(Singh(rajan" position=0 for i in mystrng: position+=1 if i == "(": print(position-1) #count backward mystrng="abin(Singh(rajan" backward=mystrng[::-1] position=len(backward) for i in backward: position-=1 if i == "(": print(position)

check my code again. first one counts forward starting with 0. second one counts backward. also, per your request it counts as if the first spot is 0. so instead of 16-1 it counts 15-0

here for i in my string: it will initialize from 1st index character. But can we do it from backward.ie from n which is the last char in this string
