Returns true if the collection contains an element equal to element
.
This operation will check each element in order for being equal to element
, unless it has a more efficient way to find an element equal to element
.
The equality used to determine whether element
is equal to an element of the iterable defaults to the Object.== of the element.
Some types of iterable may have a different equality used for its elements. For example, a Set may have a custom equality (see Set.identity) that its contains
uses. Likewise the Iterable
returned by a Map.keys call should use the same equality that the Map
uses for keys.
bool contains(Object element) { for (E e in this) { if (e == element) return true; } return false; }
