Is using a data structure really creates LOD violation?

Let's say, I have an array within the class C and methods M belongs to C calls this.



if(keys[i].equals(key)){

}


if we compare this scenario with the rules of the law, it is a violation. But in this case, isn't the keys[i] is actually still an element of the C. Is using a data structure ( array, list, vector ) makes a violation ( Because we only used them to put things together). And what is the solution to this?



keys.atEqual(i,key)


something like that? And this is not implemented by the data structure, so how can one access and check the equality without the violation.
