## Overview
The **`index(after:)` method** in Swift returns the position immediately after the given index. The **`after`** in this method refers to the index of the character that comes directly after the given index.
## Syntax
```swift
str.index(after:i)
```
## Parameters
**`i`**: This is a valid index of the collection. It must be less than the `endIndex` property.
## Return value
This method returns the index value that comes immediately after `i`.
## Code example

// create some strings
let name = "Theodore"
let language = "Swift"

// get some index
let index1 = name.index(after:name.startIndex)
let index2 = language.index(after:language.startIndex)

// access the index in the string
print(name[index1])
print(language[index2])

## Code explanation
* **Lines 2–3**: We create two strings, `name` and `language`.
* **Lines 6–7**: We get the index of some characters in the strings, using the `index(after:)` method. 
* **Lines 10–11**: Using the index we got, we access the characters of that index in the strings we created earlier. Then, we print the values to the console.
