Amazon Online Assessment 2021 (OA) - Unique Character

There's an interesting experiment currently underway with a team that's working on enhancing the process of search queries; this depends on the placement area of the first unique character within a given search. An aspect of this experiment involves conducting tests to check how well the newly created queries are performing. Talking about a unique character, it can be defined as a character that only pops up once in a string; these characters are solely limited to lowercase English alphabets. To get into the specifics, the algorithm needs to identify and return the position of the first unique character appearing in a string; it's worth noting that this uses 1-based indexing. If a situation arises where there are no unique characters at all within a string, the system should return -1.
