The classList.contains method, checking for the existence of the class
Great job! We have created a like counter whose value increases every time that it is clicked. After all, the number of likes should not just increase.
If the user has not yet liked the page, then a click on the “heart” will add a like, and the counter value should increase. But if the user has already added a like, then clicking on the button will cancel it, and the counter value should decrease. How can we distinguish between these clicks? We can check if the heart element has the added class. If the element does not have this class yet, then a like is added, but if the class already exists, then the like is removed.
To check if an element has a class, use the classList.contains method:
element.classList.contains('class');The class whose existence you want to check is indicated in parentheses. When the method reports some information, we say that it returns a value. The classList.contains method returns true if the element has the class and false if the class does not exist.
The true and false values are called boolean values. There are only two such values.
We need to check if the heart element has the added class. Let’s see how the classList.contains method works: tell JavaScript to output the values that this method returns to the console, and click on the “heart” several times to switch the class.

<p>It turns out that you don’t have to be a cat to start programming in JavaScript! Scientists have created the first robot that can write and change its own code. He immediately learned how to code websites, and he left to work as a freelancer on Bali.</p>
