NAME: in
FUNCTION: Tests for set membership
OPERAND TYPE:
Left Operand: any ordinal type t;
Right operand: set whose base is compatible with t.
RESULT TYPE: Boolean
NOTES:
When the operands =, <>, <, >, >=, or <= are of simple
types, they must be compatible types; however, if one
operand is of a real type, the other can be of an integer
type.
Strings are compared according to their extended ASCII
charactor set. Charactor type values are treated as
string types.
Packed strings can be compared if they have the same
number of components.
Pointers are equal only if they point to the same object.
Only equal, <, >, are valid pointer comparison operators.
Sets are compared according to its members.
a = b is True only if a and b contain exactly the same
members; otherwise, a <> b.
a <= b is True only if every member of a is also a member
of b.
a >= b is True only if every member of b is also a member
of a.
When using the IN operator, it will return true when the
value of the ordinal type operand is a member of the set
type operand.
