title: How to find index of STRING array in Java from a given value?
body: <p>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 ?</p>
  
  <p>Let's say my table contains these strings : </p>
  
  <pre><code>public static final String[] TYPES = {
          "Sedan",
          "Compact",
          "Roadster",
          "Minivan",
          "SUV",
          "Convertible",
          "Cargo",
          "Others"
      };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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 ...</p>
