Java Array Exercises: Find the index of an array element

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

public class Exercise6 {
       public static int  findIndex (int[] my_array, int t) {
        if (my_array == null) return -1;
        int len = my_array.length;
        int i = 0;
        while (i < len) {
            if (my_array[i] == t) return i;
            else i=i+1;
        }
        return -1;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      int[] my_array = {25, 14, 56, 15, 36, 56, 77, 18, 29, 49};
      System.out.println("Index position of 25 is: " + findIndex(my_array, 25));
      System.out.println("Index position of 77 is: " + findIndex(my_array, 77));
       }
}

Sample Output: 

Index position of 25 is: 0                                                                                    
Index position of 77 is: 6

Directory Content:

Java allows you to get the names of all subdirectories and files in a folder as an array, which can then be sequentially viewed.

import java.io.*;
  
public class ListContents {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    File file = new File("//home//user//Documents/");
    String[] files = file.list();
  
    System.out.println("Listing contents of " + file.getPath());
    for(int i=0 ; i < files.length ; i++)
    {
      System.out.println(files[i]);
    }
  }
}
