JavaScript in operator is an inbuilt operator which is used to check whether a particular property exists in an object or not. It returns a boolean value true if the specified property is in an object, otherwise, it returns false.
Syntax:
prop in object
Parameters:
- prop: This parameter holds the string or symbol that represents a property name or array index.
- object: This parameter is an Object that is to be checked whether it contains the prop.
Return value:
This method returns a boolean value. The value true is returned if the specified property is found in an object, else it returns false.
Example 1: Below is an example of the in-operator.
function gfg() {
// Illustration of in operator
const array = ['geeks', 'for',
'geeks']
// Output of the indexed number
console.log(0 in array);
// Output of the Value
console.log('for' in array);
// output of the Array property
console.log('length' in array);
}
gfg();
Output
true false true
