lastIndexOf() method - starts searching from backward
prints index-position from left-to-right - similar to IndexOf()

Last index of char 'e' is : 15
Last index of char 'c', starting from 13th position is : 11
Last index of substring 'Resource' is : 5
Last index of substring 'sour', starting from 12th position is : 7
