Prompt the user for a string, read in a single word.

Now, using the find function, report the index of the first occurrence of:

1) the character . and

2) the location of the first occurrence of the string stop.

If what you are searching for is NOT present in the string, report that fact.

Remember, the find function can take an argument of type char, or of type string, and if the requested value is not present, the function returns the special value string::npos

Example 1:

Which exercise? 3

Enter a sentence: home??

Your sentence does not contain the character '.'

Your sentence does not contain the word "stop"

Example 2:

Which exercise? 3

Enter a sentence: pit-stop.

The character '.' is located at index 8

The word "stop" starts at index 4

I have started the code but am not getting the appropriate response and I am not sure how to proceed with it...

#include  
using namespace std; 
int main() 
//variables 
 string sentence; 
  cout << "Enter a sentence: "; 
 cin >> sentence; 
 for ( int count = 0; count < sentence.size(); count++) 
 { 
 if ((sentence.find("stop")) && (sentence.find('.'))) 
 { 
 cout << "The character '.' is located at index " << sentence.find('.') << endl; 
 cout << "The word \"stop\" is located at index " << sentence.find("stop") << endl; 
 } 
 
 else if (sentence.find("stop")) 
 { 
 cout << "The word \"stop\" is located at index " << sentence.find("stop") << endl; 
 } 
 
 else if (sentence.find('.')) 
 { 
 cout << "The character '.' is located at index " << sentence.find('.') << endl; 
 } 
 
 else if ((sentence.find("stop")) && (!(sentence.find('.')))) 
 { 
 cout << "Your sentence does not contain the character '.'" << endl; 
 cout << "Your sentence does not contain the word \"stop\" " << endl; 
 } 
 
 else if ((!(sentence.find("stop"))) && (sentence.find('.'))) 
 { 
 cout << "The character '.' is located at index " << sentence.find('.') << endl; 
 cout << "The word \"stop\" is located at index " << sentence.find("stop") << endl; 
 } 
 } 
 } 
 return 0; 
}
