Extension suggestion: Array<T>.contains

1

There doesn't seem to be a 'contains' method on Array. It would seem to be a sensible method to have as there is a similar method for List.

You can of course use

array.count { it == item } != 0

But it is kind of awkward. Therefore a contains method would be useful:

fun <T> Array<T>.contains(item: T): Boolean {
    for (a in this) {
        if (a == item) {
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
}
2 

array.any { it == item }

true enough, although contains still seems good since List and ArrayList has it :-)
