In Kotlin, we can use the in operator or the contains() method to check if an array includes an element.
Here are examples of both methods:
Using the in operator:
`` kotlin
val array = arrayOf("apple", "banana", "orange")
if ("banana" in array) {
println("Array contains 'banana'")
} else {
println("Array does not contain 'banana'")
}
Output:
Using the contains() method:
kotlin
val array = arrayOf("apple", "banana", "orange")
if (array.contains("pear")) {
println("Array contains 'pear'")
} else {
println("Array does not contain 'pear'")
}
`
Output: Array does not contain 'pear'
In both cases, the if` statement checks whether the element exists in the array or not. If it exists, it prints a message indicating that the array contains the element. If it doesn't exist, it prints a message indicating that the array does not contain the element.
