contains method Null safety
- Object? element
override
Whether 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.
Implementation
bool contains(Object? element) {
int length = this.length;
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
if (this[i] == element) return true;
if (length != this.length) {
throw ConcurrentModificationError(this);
}
}
return false;
