Let's say I have the string "catdogcatdogcatdog". I want to find the index of the second occurence of "dog". How would I do this? I understand the usage of stringName.indexOf("phrase") but how I don't really see how I can use this method alone to find the index of the second or third occurrence.

There is another, actually 4, indexOf methods in the String class. Make use of stringName.indexOf("phrase", position) where position is where in stringName you want the search to start.
