Finding a specific character in an array

Question

So let's say I have an array that looks like this:

weather = ["sun", "clouds", "rain", "hail", "snow"]

And I want to find and display all of the strings which have the letter "s" in them. This is what I think I should do...

for(var i = 0; i < weather.length; i++)
{
    if(weather[i].indexOf('s') != -1)
    {
        alert(weather);
    }
}

But that just displays all of the weather strings as many times as there are strings with the letter "s" in them. (It will just alert: "sun, clouds, rain, hail, snow" 3 times)

How do I get it to alert just the specific names of the weather which contain the letter "s"?

Answer 1

You need to do alert(weather[i]) instead of alert(weather)

Answer 2

as simple modern solution without vars or loops:

alert(
  ["sun", "clouds", "rain", "hail", "snow"].filter(/./.test, /i/)
)
