Problem Statement

Write a function that takes in two parameters:

• container: a vector of strings
• target: a single string

The function should check if the target exists in the container and return a boolean value indicating the result.

Sample Input

container: ["apple", "banana", "mango", "kiwi", "strawberry"]
target: "mango"

Sample Output
