Samples

import kotlin.test.*
import java.util.*

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   val map: Map<String, Int> = mapOf("x" to 1)

println("map.contains(\"x\") is ${map.contains("x")}") // true
println("\"x\" in map is ${"x" in map}") // true

println("map.contains(\"y\") is ${map.contains("y")}") // false
println("\"y\" in map is ${"y" in map}") // false 
   //sampleEnd
}
operator fun FloatArray.contains(element: Float): Boolean(source)
operator fun DoubleArray.contains(element: Double): Boolean(source)

Hidden since 1.7

The function has unclear behavior when searching for NaN or zero values and will be removed soon. Use 'any { it == element }' instead to continue using this behavior, or '.asList().contains(element: T)' to get the same search behavior as in a list.

Replace with

any { it == element }
