+
+.. module:: fun
+
+This section contains functions to find elements by its values.
+
+.. function:: index(x, gen, param, state)
+ iterator:index(x)
+
+ :param x: a value to find
+ :returns: the position of the first element that equals to the **x**
+
+ The function returns the position of the first element in the given iterator
+ which is equal (using ``==``) to the query element, or ``nil`` if there is
+ no such element.
+
+ Examples:
+
+ .. code-block:: lua
+
+ > print(index(2, range(0)))
+ nil
+
+ > print(index("b", {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}))

+
+.. function:: indexes(x, gen, param, state)
+ iterator:indexes(x)
+
+ :param x: a value to find
+ :returns: an iterator which positions of elements that equal to the **x**
+
+ The function returns an iterator to positions of elements which equals to
+ the query element.
+
+ Examples:
+
+ .. code-block:: lua
+
+ > each(print, indexes("a", {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "a", "b", "a", "a"}))
