Not like this at all.. The "in" keyword is not an array search operator.
There is no single "search" this array for
a value keyword. You need to look through your array checking each value in
the array to see if it is
= to the current_state value. If you find it, return true. If you make it
out of the loop without finding it, return
false.

Since I am (perhaps incorrectly) assuming this is a homework related issue,
I did not post code..Hopefully (either way) the text based info is enough to
get you on the right track.
