What do they want me to do for this challenge?

I don't know where to start because it doesn't seem to connect with the material being presented...

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)
  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

The challenge is asking you to write code in the contains? method such that one can use it to check if the todo_items array contains an item that matches the name parameter in the contains?(name) method.

Example - if todo_items array has an item called "study", then contains?(study) should return true.
