    public static int indexOfAny(String string, char[] array) {
        int lowestIndex = -1;
         
        for (char ch : array) {
            int index = string.indexOf(ch);
            if (index > -1)  {
                if (lowestIndex == -1 || index < lowestIndex) {
                    lowestIndex = index;
                    if (index == 0) {
                        break;

        int i = indexOfAny(str, new char[] {'x', 'm', 'y'});
