I was able to solve this challenge using a for loop. The two posted solutions utilize && operators and the every method though.

Just wondering from an efficiency point of view, if my solution is less than ideal compared to the posted solutions?

My Solution:

function isEveryoneHere(userObj) {
let arr = ['Alan', 'Jeff', 'Sarah', 'Ryan'];
  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    if (userObj.hasOwnProperty(arr[i]) == false) {
      return false;
    }  
  } return true;
}

We have blurred this solution (with [spoiler][/spoiler] tags) so that users who have not completed this challenge can read the discussion in this thread without giving away the solution.

How is it possible without if? I played around with @devonhughes’s code and tried to figure out how to make it with for loop only.

function isEveryoneHere(userObj) {
let arr = ['Alan', 'Jeff', 'Sarah', 'Ryan'];
  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    return arr[i] in userObj;
  }
}

It returns false only on Alan not being among object properties. On other names it returns true. Same story with hasOwnProp.
