var n = fruits.includes("Mango"); // true

var n = fruits.includes("Django"); // false

Example 2: javascript method to see if item exists in array

var fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Mango", "Orange", "Papaya"];
    
    // Check if a value exists in the fruits array
    if(fruits.indexOf("Mango") !== -1){

private boolean zitAlInArray(int[] array, int index) {
		for (int i = 0; i < index; i++) {
			if (array[i] == array[index]) {
