Pangrams ? a task from another website, something in it i have never seen

1

so Pangrams are strings that have all the alphabet in them, so the website askes to make a piece of code that returns true if a given string is a pangram or false otherwise.
i solved it but my solotion is realy long, then i checked other solutions and found at the top a solution that is no more then 4 lines of code.
the solution have a comparison that i don’t understand.

function isPangram(string){
  string = string.toLowerCase();
  return "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".split("").every(function(x){
    return string.indexOf(x) !== -1;
  });
}

can somebody explain why he or she compared string.indexOf(x) to !== -1 and how will that check if all alphabets are in the string given to the function?
thank you

just pressed enter by mistake in the middle of writing my problem!

what does it mean when indexOf returns -1?

5

Means no match? The method couldn’t find the index of the given x.
I see something.
