Hello, could please help find what is wrong with my code below?

race_results <- c(“Gi”, “Francesca”, “Lea”, “Vivian”, “Jessica”, “Esther”, “Mary”, “Yasmina”, “Megan”, “Janet”, “Tiffany”, “Kishan”, “Feng”, “Z”, “Tina”)


```{r}

# write find_place() here:

find_place <- function (runner) {

  for (place in 1:length(race_results)) {

    if race_results[place] == runner {

      return place

    }

  }

  return 0

}



# call and apply find_place() here:

print(find_place("Francesca"))`Preformatted text`
