Explanation

The IN operator in SQL allows you to specify multiple values in a WHERE clause, making it more concise than writing multiple OR conditions. For example, WHERE column IN (1,2,3) is equivalent to WHERE column = 1 OR column = 2 OR column = 3.

AI explanation

The SQL IN operator lets you list multiple values in a WHERE clause as a shorthand for multiple OR conditions, e.g. WHERE country IN ('US', 'UK', 'IN') instead of chaining several equality checks with OR. This makes the statement true.
