package com.bethecoder.tutorials.commons_lang.tests.strings;

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

public class IndexOfAnyTest2 {

  /**
   @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(StringUtils.indexOfAny(null, "a"));
    System.out.println(StringUtils.indexOfAny("be the coder""b"));
    System.out.println(StringUtils.indexOfAny("be the coder""ter"));
    System.out.println(StringUtils.indexOfAny("be the coder""abc"));
    System.out.println(StringUtils.indexOfAny("abcd""xyz"));
  }
