secondIndexOf

Language/Type: Java arrays array programming

Write a method named secondIndexOf that returns the index of the second occurrence of a particular value in an array of integers. If the value does not appear in the array at least twice, you should return -1. For example, if an array called list stores the following values:

     // index  0  1   2   3  4   5   6  7   8  9  10
int[] list = {42, 7, -9, 14, 8, 39, 42, 8, 19, 0, 42};

Then the call secondIndexOf(list, 42) should return 6 because the index of the second occurrence of value 42 in the array is at index 6. The call secondIndexOf(list, 14) should return -1 because value 14 does not occur at least twice in the array.

Method: Write a Java method as described, not a complete program or class.
