how to return only certain fields from mongodb find code example

Example 1: mongodb select specific fields

db.student.find({}, 'roll _id'); // <--- Just multiple fields name space separated
// OR
db.student.find({}).select('roll _id'); // <--- Just multiple fields name space separated
// OR
db.student.find({}, {'roll' : 1 , '_id' : 1 ); // <---- Old lengthy boring way
