static void Main(string[] args)
{
string[] planets = { "Mercury", "Venus",

"Saturn", "Uranus", "Neptune" };
if (planets.Contains("Jupiter"))
{
Console.WriteLine("It contains Jupiter");
}
Console.WriteLine("One or more planets begin with 'M': {0}",
Array.Exists(planets, element => element.StartsWith("M")));
Console.WriteLine("One or more planets begin with 'T': {0}",
Array.Exists(planets, element => element.StartsWith("T")));
Console.WriteLine("Is Pluto one of the planets? {0}",
Array.Exists(planets, element => element == "Pluto"));
}
