List.Contains equivalent in apex code?

I am wondering if there is any extension that I might not be seeing in the soap api guide that would be the equivalent to list.contains so that I can check if an item already exists in a list.  Or is there a simple way to do this besides checking each item of the list everytime?

Thanks

The List collection does not have a .contains(), your best bet is to iterate through the List and put it in a Map (or just start from a Map!) and that has a containsKey().
