Hello, Why this code is not working ? I spent a whole day looking for the issue.Hope someone can help me.

In this code you can see that if the user clicked the [click] button more than one time,The message "already added" needs to be displayed in the console,But this code is not working.I don't know why Array.includes() is not working properly in this array of objects,please check the code. https://code.sololearn.com/WzsBmd19E6ux/?ref=app

const btn= document.getElementById("btn"); let arr = []; class Obj { constructor(name, age) { this.name = name; this.age= age; } } btn.addEventListener("click",() => { let newObj = new Obj("roshan",18); if(arr.includes(newObj.name) == false){ arr.push(newObj.name); }else{ console.log("Already added"); } console.log(arr); // To display })

I mean how is the program supposed to know what make your object unique ? Since you could for exaple have Obj (“roshan”,20) Obj (“roshan”,5) The way you have it, its defaulting to comparing the address.

Bro, what if I do not use newObj.name? I mean I need to add the whole object and if that already exists then don't.
