Parameters:

values – Each parameter represents a value to be matched with the match value parameter.
Returns:
True when the match value is matched with one of the other values. False is returned when the match value cannot be matched.
Examples:
IN('cat','bird','cat','dog') returns True.
IN('Java','UNIX','Microsoft','Web Service') returns False.
IN(5,1,2,3,5) returns True
