Discussion
This example checks to see whether a favorite actor is in an array storing a movie’s cast.
let cast = ["Vivien", "Marlon", "Kim", "Karl"]
print(cast.contains("Marlon"))
// Prints "true"
print(cast.contains("James"))
// Prints "false"
Complexity: O(n), where n is the length of the sequence.
