ArrayList - o método contains

Como disse no tópico "ArrayList - definição e inicialização",
o ArrayList foi criado para se ter mais flexibilidade
com arrays, neste exemplo mostro o quanto é simples saber
se um elemento está ou não presente num ArrayList,
só foi preciso invocar o método .contains para esta ação.

Veja abaixo uma imagem do programa em execução:

 Veja abaixo o código do programa:

import java.util.ArrayList;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class PROJETO {

     public static void main ( String args [ ] ) {

         int i, tam = 0;

         J jht = new J ( );

         jht.title ( " " );

         jht.textbackground ( jht.WHITE );

         jht.Moldura ( ( short ) 1, ( short ) 24, ( short ) 2, ( short ) 68 );

         ArrayList < String > arrList = new ArrayList <> ( Arrays.asList (

                   "Palmeiras",

                   "Corinthians",

                   "São Paulo" ) );

         jht.textcolor ( jht.LIGHTRED );
