## String.prototype.indexOf
|
||||
The `indexOf()` method returns the first index at which a given element can be found in the array. If the element is not present, it returns -1.

The `indexOf()` method returns the first index at which a specified string can be found in the given String object. If the string is not present, it returns -1.

```
|

|

### Parameters
|
||||
* **searchValue** Substring for which you are looking. If this is empty (`''`) and there is no `fromIndex` parameter, this will return 0.
|
||||
* **searchValue** Substring for which you are looking. If this is empty (`''`) and there is no `fromIndex` argument, `indexOf()` will return 0.
|
||||
|
||||
* **fromIndex** Optional. The index at which you want to start the search. If the `fromIndex` value is greater than or equal to the string's length, the string is not searched and the method returns -1. If the `searchValue` is an empty string (`''`) and the `fromIndex` is less than the string's length, it will return the `fromIndex`; otherwise, it will return the string's length. (A negative number will be treated as though there is no argument.)
|
||||
* **fromIndex** Optional. The index at which you want to start the search from. The default value is 0.
|
||||
* If `fromIndex` is negative, the string will be searched from the beginning.
|
||||
* If `fromIndex` is less than the string's length:
|
||||
* If `searchValue` is not an empty string (`''`), the string will be searched from `fromIndex`.
|
||||
* If `searchValue` is an empty string (`''`), the method returns `fromIndex`.
|
||||
* If `fromIndex` is greater than or equal to the string's length:
|
||||
* If `searchValue` is not an empty string (`''`), the string is not searched and the method returns -1.
|
||||
* If `searchValue` is an empty string (`''`), the method returns the string's length.

### Description
|
||||
The `indexOf()` method checks the string from left to right. The index of the first character is 0; the index of the last character is ``string.length - 1``. The method checks each substring against `searchValue` using strict equality (`===`), which means this method is case sensitive. Once it finds a substring that returns `true`, it returns the index of its first character.
