Indexes of all occurrences of character in a string

Try the following (Which does not print -1 at the end now!)

int index = word.indexOf(guess);
while(index >= 0) {
   System.out.println(index);
   index = word.indexOf(guess, index+1);
}

This can be done in a functional way with Java 9 using regular expression:

Pattern.compile(Pattern.quote(guess)) // sanitize input and create pattern
            .matcher(word) // create matcher
            .results()     // get the MatchResults, Java 9 method
            .map(MatchResult::start) // get the first index
            .collect(Collectors.toList()) // collect found indices into a list
    );

Here's the Kotlin Solution to add this logic as a new a new methods into CharSequence API using extension method:

 // Extension method
fun CharSequence.indicesOf(input: String): List<Int> =
    Regex(Pattern.quote(input)) // build regex
        .findAll(this)          // get the matches
        .map { it.range.first } // get the index
        .toCollection(mutableListOf()) // collect the result as list

// call the methods as
"Banana".indicesOf("a") // [1, 3, 5]

This should print the list of positions without the -1 at the end that Peter Lawrey's solution has had.

int index = word.indexOf(guess);
while (index >= 0) {
    System.out.println(index);
    index = word.indexOf(guess, index + 1);
}

It can also be done as a for loop:

for (int index = word.indexOf(guess);
     index >= 0;
     index = word.indexOf(guess, index + 1))
{
    System.out.println(index);
}

[Note: if guess can be longer than a single character, then it is possible, by analyzing the guess string, to loop through word faster than the above loops do. The benchmark for such an approach is the Boyer-Moore algorithm. However, the conditions that would favor using such an approach do not seem to be present.]
