The JavaScript Array includes() Method returns true if an array contains a specified value. The includes() method is case-sensitive.
Syntax:
array.includes(searchElement, start);
Parameters:
- searchElement: This parameter holds the element that will be searched.
- start: This parameter is optional and it holds the starting point of the array, where to begin the search the default value is 0.

It returns a Boolean value i.e., either True or False.
Example 1: In this example, we will see if a value is included in an array or not using the Array includes() method.
javascript
let name = ['gfg', 'cse', 'geeks', 'portal'];
a = name.includes('gfg')
console.log(a);

Example 2: In this example, the method will search for element 2 in that array.
javascript
let A = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
a = A.includes(2)
console.log(a);

Example 3: In this example, the method will search for the element ‘cat’ in that array and returns false as ‘cat’ is not present in the array.

let name = ['gfg', 'cse', 'geeks', 'portal'];
a = name.includes('cat')
console.log(a);
