The `includes` Method
The includes method can be used to quickly determine of a specific element exists in the array or not.
Following is the general syntax of the includes method:
python
The includes method returns a boolean (true or false) value based on whether or not the element exists in the array.
Returns
trueif the element is found;Returns
falseif the element is not found.
let itemsInStock = ["Laptop", "Phone", "Tablet", "Charger"]; console.log(itemsInStock.includes("Phone")); console.log(itemsInStock.includes("Headphones"));
Note
The includes method performs a strict comparison (===), meaning it checks for exact matches, including case sensitivity. For example, itemsInStock.includes("phone") would return false because "phone" (lowercase) is not the same as "Phone" (uppercase "P").
