[jira] Commented: (LANG-600) Javadoc is incorrect for public static int lastIndexOf(String str, String searchStr)

["Shaun Elliott (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-600?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12841972#action_12841972 ] 

Shaun Elliott commented on LANG-600:
------------------------------------

I can confirm this. 

Running the following:

		// Copied from the javadoc      
		System.out.println( StringUtils.lastIndexOf( null, "*" ) );
		System.out.println( StringUtils.lastIndexOf( "*", null ) );
		System.out.println( StringUtils.lastIndexOf( "", "" ) );
		System.out.println( StringUtils.lastIndexOf( "aabaabaa", "a" ) );
		System.out.println( StringUtils.lastIndexOf( "aabaabaa", "b" ) );
		System.out.println( StringUtils.lastIndexOf( "aabaabaa", "ab" ) );
		System.out.println( StringUtils.lastIndexOf( "aabaabaa", "" ) );

Yields this:
-1
-1
0
7
5
4
8

Not this (as presented in the javadoc):
-1
-1
0
0
2
1
8
