function strpos_generic ($haystack, $needle, $nth, $insensitive)
following are terminology definitions.
• $haystack = the string in which you need to search value.

• $needle = the character that needs to be searched, the $needle should
be a single character.
• $nth = occurrence you want to find, the value can be number
between 1,2,3
• $insensitive = 1-case insensitive, 0 or any other value is case sensitive
• Passing as Null as parameter in haystack or needle is not a valid
scenario and will return Boolean false.
• The function will return mixed integer either the position of the $nth
occurrence of $needle in $haystack, or Boolean false if it can’t be
found.

b) An organic chemical is being produced by a batch operation in which no
product is obtained until the batch is finished. Each cycle consists of the
operating time necessary to complete the reaction plus a total time of 1.4
h for discharging and charging. The operating time per cycle is equal to
l.5Pb0.25h,where Pb is the kilograms of product produced per batch. The
operating costs during the operating period are $20 per hour, and the
costs during the discharge period are $15 per hour. The annual fixed
costs for the equipment vary with the size of the batch as follows:
