## SQL In Operator
## IN Operator defined
The `IN` operator is used in a `WHERE` or `HAVING` (as part of the `GROUP BY`) to limit the selected rows to the items "IN" a list.
Here is the current full student list to compare to the `WHERE` clause result set:
```sql
select studentID, FullName, sat_score, rcd_updated from student;
```
```text
+-----------+------------------------+-----------+---------------------+
| studentID | FullName | sat_score | rcd_updated |
+-----------+------------------------+-----------+---------------------+
| 1 | Monique Davis | 400 | 2017-08-16 15:34:50 |
| 2 | Teri Gutierrez | 800 | 2017-08-16 15:34:50 |
| 3 | Spencer Pautier | 1000 | 2017-08-16 15:34:50 |

9 rows in set (0.00 sec)
```
Rows will be presented that have an SAT score in this list (1000, 2400):
```sql
select studentID, FullName, sat_score, rcd_updated
from student
where sat_score in (1000, 2400);
```
```text
