    Syntax for checking if a value is in an array is the same as in javascript.

    Try:

    [30,40,50].indexOf(30) != -1 —> true

    [30,40,50].indexOf(90) != -1 —> false

    The reason for the “!= -1” is that indexOf returns -1 if the element is not found in an array. Otherwise it returns the index.

    Same method works for strings.
