The includes method for arrays in JavaScript is a built-in function that checks the existence of a specified element within an array. It returns true if the element can be found in the array; otherwise, it yields false.
- It is important to note that the includes method is case sensitive.

Example
array.includes(searchElement, start)
Parameters:
Search : The element to search for
Begin: The default value is set to 0. This indicates the index at which the search operation will commence.
Return value:
It returns a Boolean value, either True or False.
