Problem 42
Deep Includes Recursion Challenge
Given an array that may contain nested arrays and a target value, determine whether the target exists at any depth in the array.
Function Signature
deepIncludes(array, target)
Parameters
array— an array that may contain values or nested arrays.target— the value to search for. May be any type includingnull,undefined, orfalse.
Output
Return true if the target is found at any nesting level, or false otherwise.
Constraints
- The function must use recursion.
- The input array must not be mutated.
- The function should accept exactly two arguments.
Examples
deepIncludes([1, 2, 3], 2) → true
deepIncludes([1, [2, [3, 4]], 5], 4) → true
deepIncludes([['a'], [['b']], 'c'], 'b') → true
deepIncludes([false, [null, [undefined]]], undefined) → true
deepIncludes([], 1) → false
deepIncludes([1, [2, [3]], 4], 5) → false
