How to find index of STRING array in Java from a given value

Question

I wanted to know if there s a native method in array for Java to get the index of the table for a given value    Let s say my table contains these strings     public static final String   TYPES              Sedan            Compact            Roadster            Minivan            SUV            Convertible            Cargo            Others           Let s say the user has to enter the type of car and that then in the background the program takes that string and get s it s position in the array   So if the person enters   Sedan It should take the position 0 and store s it in the object of Cars created by my program

Use this as a method with x being any number initially  The string y being passed in by console and v is the array to search   public static int getIndex int x  String y  String  v       for int m   0  m  lt  v length  m             if  v m  equalsIgnoreCase y                x   m                      return x

Try this Function    public int indexOfArray String input        for int i 0 i lt TYPES length   i                      if TYPES i  equals input                        return i                              return -1        if the text not found the function return -1

I had an array of all English words  My array has unique items  But using     Arrays asList TYPES  indexOf myString        always gave me indexOutOfBoundException   So  I tried   Arrays asList TYPES  lastIndexOf myString     And  it worked  If your arrays don t have same item twice  you can use   Arrays asList TYPES  lastIndexOf myString

An easy way would be to iterate over the items in the array in a loop    for  var i   0  i  lt  arrayLength  i           string  Compare the given string with myArray i      if it matches store save i and exit the loop      There would definitely be better ways but for small number of items this should be blazing fast  Btw this is javascript but same method should work in almost every programming language

No built-in method  But you can implement one easily   public static int getIndexOf String   strings  String item        for  int i   0  i  lt  strings length  i              if  item equals strings i    return i            return -1
