Is In Array?

I was searching if there was a function like in_array of PHP in Perl, but there is not such function, but, it is still very easy to check!
This was useful for me so i hope it is for you
In PHP:

<?php
$string = ‘fin_helm’;
$array = array(‘full_plate’,'manteau’,'boots’,'two_handed_sword’,'fin_helm’);
if(in_array($string, $array))
{
print “$string is in the array”;
}
?>

In Perl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $string = ‘fin_helm’;
my @array = qw/full_plate manteau boots two_handed_sword fin_helm/;
if(grep $_ eq $string, @array)
{
print “$string is in the array”;
}

So, those codes do exactly the same.
If you don’t know much perl you will be wondering what does the grep function, the grep function examines each of an element of an array (represented with $_) and then we make a comparison or something with it, in this case $_ eq $string, grep, returns the elements with where true, in this case we are not requesting the elements, we are requesting a sacalar value, so, in perl 0 is false, and every other number is true, that will return 1, so its true, and the element is in the array
I hope you all find this useful, bye
