hi all,

i wrote the following code:

def find(word, letter):
    index =3D 0
    while index < len(word):
        if word[index] =3D=3D letter:
            return index
        index =3D index + 1
    return -1

if i run the program i get this error: name 'word' is not defined.  how =
can i solve it?

thanks!=
