Hint 1: Formatted code: 
function fn (n, a = [[], '']) {
  if (n in a) {
    return !!a[n]
  } else {
    a.push(...a)
    return fn(n, a)
  }
}
Hint 2:

Remember the difference between in and of.

Hint 3:

The function is meant to be called with 1 parameter, a number. Try some examples to see what the output is.
