Purpose: 

Filter for one or more values from a list.

This operator provides a highly efficient way to filter input objects because it allows you to look for multiple values with one command.

Type: 

The in operator takes a comma-separated list of string or integer arguments. You cannot use floating-point arguments.

Case Sensitivity: 
None
Syntax: 

Note the use of quotes for string arguments and square brackets for integer arguments.

in "string, string, .... string"

in [int, int, .... int]

Synonyms: 
None
Examples: 

1.  Filter for Tweets from a specified set of authors based on their screen name.

2.  Filter for posts written in English, German, or Spanish. Notice that we've used interaction.sample to sip just 1 percent of the objects from the Firehose. Without this limit, the stream would produce a very large number of output objects.

3. Filter for posts by author id. The stream will contain posts written by all of these authors. Note the syntax requires square brackets [ ] here.
