How to find the index of an element in an array in Java?

In this case, you could create e new String from your array of chars and then do an indeoxOf("e") on that String:

System.out.println(new String(list).indexOf("e"));

But in other cases of primitive data types, you'll have to iterate over it.

Alternatively, you can use Commons Lang ArrayUtils class:

int[] arr = new int{3, 5, 1, 4, 2};
int indexOfTwo = ArrayUtils.indexOf(arr, 2);

There are overloaded variants of indexOf() method for different array types.
