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 :

<

Answer 1

for (int i = 0; i < Types.length; i++) {
    if(TYPES[i].equals(userString)){
        return i;
    }
}
return -1;//not found

You can do this too:

return Arrays.asList(Types).indexOf(userSTring);
