in in 操作检查对象中是否有名为 property 的属性。也可以检查对象的原型,以便知道该属性是否为原型链的一部分。
对于一般的对象属性需要用字符串指定属性的名称
var mycar = {make: "Honda", model: "Accord", year: 1998}; "make" in mycar // returns true "model" in mycar // returns true
对于数组属性需要指定数字形式的索引值来表示数组的属性名称(固有属性除外,如length)
// Arrays var trees = new Array("redwood", "bay", "cedar", "oak", "maple"); 0 in trees // returns true 3 in trees // returns true 6 in trees // returns false "bay" in trees // returns false (you must specify the index number, // not the value at that index) "length" in trees // returns true (length is an Array property)
in的右边必须是一个对象,如:你可以指定一个用String构造器生成的,但是不能指定字符串直接量的形式:
var color1 = new String("green"); "length" in color1 // returns true var color2 = "coral"; "length" in color2 // generates an error (color is not a String object)
如果你使用delete操作符删除了一个属性,再次用in检查时,会返回false,如:
var mycar = {make: "Honda", model: "Accord", year: 1998}; delete mycar.make; "make" in mycar; // returns false var trees = new Array("redwood", "bay", "cedar", "oak", "maple"); delete trees[3]; 3 in trees; // returns false
