match() vs includes() in JavaScript

Question

To me match and includes seems same . Is it really same thing? If no, then what is the difference between this 2.

Answer 1

The includes() method determines whether one string may be found within another string, returning true or false as appropriate.
The match() method retrieves the result of matching a string against a regular expression and returns an array.

Answer 4

I think you also need to be careful because they handle regular expressions differently (e.g. with match you'll need to escape special RegEx characters).

Answer 5

Includes returns a boolean value right?

Answer 6

Yes, it return a boolean true or false
