Linear search

Instructions

Given list of strings and a string return index of th value in the list or -1 if value was not found.

Challenge | Solution

Limitations

Don't use any Kotlin build-in methods that are directly returning index of element like indexOf / lastIndexOf / indexOfFirst / indexOfLast, etc.

Examples

getIndex(listOf("A", "B", "C"), "A") // 0

getIndex(listOf("A", "B", "C"), "B") // 1

getIndex(listOf("A", "B", "C"), "D") // -1
