JS - array.includes issue

I have this issue with a JS function array.includes. I have this array:

The thing is when I use this code, nothing will happen.

var array_type;
//array has these 2 values:
//array_type[0] == 0;
//array_type[1] == 2;
if (array_type.includes(2)) {
 console.log("good");
}

Do you have any idea why? Thank you for any help.

If you are using Internet Explorer then array.includes() will not work. Instead you need to use indexOf. Internet Explorer doesn't have a support for Array.includes()

var array_type = [0, 2];

if (array_type.indexOf(2) !== -1) {
  console.log("good");
}

Here your are not adding values, you are testing if array_type[0] is equal to 0 and array_type[1] is equal to 2

//array has these 2 values:
array_type[0] == 0;
array_type[1] == 2;

So this code

if (array_type.includes(2)) {
    console.log("good");
}

never be true Try

var array_type = [];
array_type[0] = 0;
array_type[1] = 2;

if (array_type.includes(2)) {
    console.log("good");
}

I suppose that both comments is a value set (=) instead of a comparison (==)

Because using first option, it works:

> array_type.includes(2)
true

var array_type = [];
//array has these 2 values:
array_type[0] = 0;
array_type[1] = 2;
if (array_type.includes(2)) {
     console.log("good");
}

This should work!

The code works for me. For example, 

var array_type = [0, 2];

if (array_type.includes(2)) {
    console.log("good");
}

will log good.

Make sure you are properly inserting the items into the array.

This code works 

[1,2].includes(2)

but you have to be careful if you can use the includes function
