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 < v.length; m++){
        if (v[m].equalsIgnoreCase(y)){
            x = m;
        }
    }
    return x;
}
