contains

boolean contains(array|string source, any search)

If source is an array, returns true if the array contains an item that is equal to the search value, false otherwise.

If source is a string, returns true if the string contains a substring that is equal to the search value, false otherwise.

It is a type error if

• the provided source is not an array or string, or

• the provided source is a string but the provided search value is not a string.
