how to check whether a string is part of an array string using JavaScript

Question

//for example

var str='i like JavaScript'
   var str1='lik';
   var abc=str.indexof(str1)

//abc returns 0 as 'lik' is present in 'i like JavaScript' //like wise say i have an array

var arrStr=['lik','something','hi']
   var abc=str.indexof(arrStr)

//(this is not correct but i want to know something like this) //abc should return 0

So what is wrong with your example? indexOf also works for arrays : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/indexOf – Jerome Demantke Jul 15 '17 at 20:34
