Could you help me pls?

What should I do to control my array that contains the name argument?

todo_list.rb 
class TodoList
  attr_reader :name, :todo_items

  def initialize(name)
    @name = name
    @todo_items = []
  end

  def add_item(name)
    todo_items.push(TodoItem.new(name))
  end

  def contains?(name)
    if todo_items.has_at?(name)
      return true
    end
  end

  def find_index(name)
    index = 0
    found = false
        todo_items.each do |item|
      found = true if item.name == name
      break if found
      index += 1
    end
    if found
      return index
    else
      return nil
    end
  end
end

Hi uc. I tried using the find_index method to help with this problem, but was unable to do do. I just ended up copying and modifying the code from it instead :)

  def contains?(name)
    found = false
    todo_items.each do |item|
      found = true if item.name == name
      break if found
    end
    found
  end
