This is a scratch drill — your code runs, nothing is graded or recorded. No test cases, no expected output, no verdict.

TASK

Scan the string "banana" once using ASCII-indexed first and last arrays. Set each first position only once, update each last position on every occurrence, then print the present characters in ASCII order as "a 1 5", "b 0 0", and "n 2 4".

AI TUTORTalk to tutor

Scoped to Find the First and Last Index of Occurrence for Each Character in a String. The tutor can see the reading, its checkpoints and your drill code.

The tutor reads this lesson alongside you and answers questions about it — nudging you towards the answer rather than handing it over.

The tutor will not answer a quiz question for you, and it will not paste a working drill. It explains the reading it can see.
