/**
 * @file find.c
 * @brief Implements the OP_FIND opcode for finding substrings in the VM.
 *
 * This file handles the OP_FIND instruction, which finds the index of a substring
 * within a string. The substring and string are popped from the stack, and the index
 * (or -1) is pushed back.
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - Pops the substring and string from the stack.
 * - Finds the index of the substring within the string.
 * - Pushes the index (or -1 if not found) onto the stack.
 *
 * Error Handling:
 * - Exits with an error if the operands are not strings.
 *
 * Example:
 * - Bytecode: OP_FIND
 * - Stack before: ["world", "hello world"]
 * - Stack after: [6]
