I am trying to write a code that finds index of a character in a string. This is I wrote so far. It shows me 3 two times. The first 'o' is indeed 3, and there are two o. But why does it give me 3 instead of 11?

my_string = 'I love my dogs!'
for char in my_string:
    if char == 'o':
        print(my_string.index(char))

[`str.index`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.index) gives you the *first* index of a given character, the loop isn't really helping you at all here. – jonrsharpe Oct 06 '19 at 15:53
Did you read docs on `str.index` ? – Austin Oct 06 '19 at 15:55
so how can I get all indexes? I am really new to python – OrangeBike Oct 06 '19 at 15:55
See my comment. – Dani Mesejo Oct 06 '19 at 15:56
