# --description--
Now we can add, modify, and remove keys from objects. But what if we just wanted to know if an object has a specific property? JavaScript provides us with two different ways to do this. One uses the `hasOwnProperty()` method and the other uses the `in` keyword. If we have an object `users` with a property of `Alan`, we could check for its presence in either of the following ways:
```js
users.hasOwnProperty('Alan');
'Alan' in users;
```
Both of these would return `true`.
# --instructions--
We've created an object, `users`, with some users in it and a function `isEveryoneHere`, which we pass the `users` object to as an argument. Finish writing this function so that it returns `true` only if the `users` object contains all four names, `Alan`, `Jeff`, `Sarah`, and `Ryan`, as keys, and `false` otherwise.
# --hints--
The `users` object should only contain the keys `Alan`, `Jeff`, `Sarah`, and `Ryan`
```js
assert(
'Alan' in users &&
'Jeff' in users &&
'Sarah' in users &&
'Ryan' in users &&
Object.keys(users).length === 4
);
```
The function `isEveryoneHere` should return `true` if `Alan`, `Jeff`, `Sarah`, and `Ryan` are properties on the `users` object
```js
assert(isEveryoneHere(users) === true);
```
The function `isEveryoneHere` should return `false` if `Alan` is not a property on the `users` object
```js
assert(
(function () {
delete users.Alan;
return isEveryoneHere(users);
})() === false
);
```
The function `isEveryoneHere` should return `false` if `Jeff` is not a property on the `users` object
```js
assert(
(function () {
delete users.Jeff;
return isEveryoneHere(users);
})() === false
);
```
The function `isEveryoneHere` should return `false` if `Sarah` is not a property on the `users` object
```js
assert(
(function () {
delete users.Sarah;
return isEveryoneHere(users);
})() === false
);
```
The function `isEveryoneHere` should return `false` if `Ryan` is not a property on the `users` object
```js
assert(
(function () {
delete users.Ryan;
return isEveryoneHere(users);
})() === false
);
```
