The Ruby Array#include? method has a question mark symbol after the method name because it returns a boolean value (i.e. true/false):
array = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
puts array.include?("foo") #=> true
puts array.include?("qux") #=> false
In Ruby, method names ending with a question mark (?) is a naming convention for methods that either return true/false, or an object to indicate a true value (or "truthy" value).
Please note that this convention only applies to method names and not variables.
