How to find whether a wordpress theme has a particular hook or not?

I'm building a Wordpress plugin and as per the plugin functionality requirement I need to find out if a Wordpress theme has a particular hook or not and in case if it doesn't have then I need to perform some action. Say for eg. show an alert message.

The WordPress function has_action is used for this purpose.

Here's a really basic example showing how you can echo a message if the theme doesn't have the hook you need:

if(has_action('example_hook')) {
    do_action('example_hook');
} else {
        echo 'an example alert message';
}

There's some more about has_action in the Codex.
