Java, how to compare Strings with String Arrays

Question

I have been searching here for some time but haven\'t been able to find the answer to it.

I am basically required to use an array for this assignment from college. A

Answer 1

Iterate over the codes array using a loop, asking for each of the elements if it's equals() to usercode. If one element is equal, you can stop and handle that case. If none of the elements is equal to usercode, then do the appropriate to handle that case. In pseudocode:

found = false
foreach element in array:
  if element.equals(usercode):
    found = true
    break

if found:
  print "I found it!"
else:
  print "I didn't find it"
