Array problems!

How do I get a index on an array by using the value name.
And how to I get the value name by using the index number?

Is this an array or array list?

Say its an array.

String[] someArray = {"dog", "cat"};

in order to access objects knowing their index you can just say
String animal = someArray[0];

Knowing this, you should be able to figure out how to do so knowing the value and not the index.

sso i got to do a for looplike:

Code:

---

for (int x = 0;x<someArray.length;x++){
if ( someArray[x].equals("myname")){
...

---

?
