I would guess it's grabbing the last character and finding its position in the alphabet

[random juniper]

it's just taking the lower case version of the last letter

[boreal portal]

Oh I didn't see it gave the actual implementation lol, I thought you needed to do that

[ocean jolt]

Ohh that makes sense I just didn’t get the last line and what it was returning

thank you

Yeah so strlen(str) finds the length of the string, then 1 is subtracted from it, since arrays are zero indexed. That gets you the index of the last character. Then the character is converted to lowercase and 'a' is subtracted

Oh alright that makes a lot more sense thanks

I was over thinking it since the str[index] had me confused
