Hello!
I have an array of strings.
How might I be able to figure out what index a string is in a array?
Thanks, Christian Stewart
wow? That was... Simple. Hahah I'll give it a try and get back to you.

This is only going to work if you have a reference to the same string object that was put in the array. Not just a string that has the same value.

It will work when using `indexOfObject:@"Some string"`! `indexOfObject:` uses `isEqual:` on the objects in the array, and `NSString's` implementation of `isEqual:` tests the value of the string, not the pointer ;)

I'm getting an error about the index being out of range when I try to use the value returned from indexOfObject: It says that the returned index is something crasy like 201341023 or something... My array is literally 3 things long.

That number is actually `NSNotFound`, which is returned when the object was not found in the array.
