indexOf()

Basic useage:

The function is used to return index where the specific string first appeared.If there is no such string,return -1.

<script>
    var str="hello world";
    console.log(str.indexOf("lo"));    //3
    console.log(str.indexOf("ol"));    //-1
</script>

Abstract leakage:

But if we want to get whether there has such string in the whole string,we can not write like this:

if(str.indexOf("lo")>=0)
{
    console.log("match");
}
if(str.indexOf("ol")==-1)
{
    console.log("no match");
}

For we expose the underlying implementation details ,if so.
We need to write like this:

if(~str.indexOf("lo"))
{
    console.log("match");
}
if(!~str.indexOf("ol"))
{
    console.log("no match");
}
