Forum: Ruby error in if

WHat's the error here?

a = [1,2,3]

if 1 in a
    puts "exists"
end

It gives: test.rb:5: syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting 
$end

"if 1 in a" is not valid Ruby syntax.

A working line #3 could be

if(a.include?(1))

Carlo

There is no such construction in Ruby (were you thinking about another
language?) try something like

a = [1,2,3]

if a.include?(1)
  puts "exists"
end

Yes, I was trying to code like python :). Now it's okay. Thanks
