What does L1 do and what's the point of the space?
What's the point of punctuation?
Why do you need a while loop?
What happens if the word isn't in the line?
Wouldn't it make more sense to return wbgn rather than pass it in as an output parameter?
Did you test it? What happened?
It was in the task. "void FindWord(string line, string punctuation, string givenWord, int & beginning)"Quote:

What is the result when you search for the word "at" in the line "What does punctuation do?"?Quote:
