Comparison Operators: Equal and Not Equal
In JavaScript, an operator is a special symbol that performs a specific operation on one or more values (or operands).
The equal operator, written as ===
, is used to compare two values to see if they are the same. For example:
On the other hand, the not equal operator, written as !==
, is used to compare two values to see if they are not the same. For example:
Basically, the
!
meansnot
and the==
meansequal
. So!==
meansnot equal
.
On the other hand, the ==
and !=
operators also compare two values, but they are not as strict as ===
and !==
.
They will try to convert the values to be the same type before comparing them. For example, 5 == "5"
would be true because JavaScript will convert the string "5"
to the number 5
before comparing. However, it's generally recommended to use ===
and !==
to avoid unexpected behavior.
In the code below we have two variables (a
and b
).
Fill in the spaces indicated with the operations of Equal
and Not Equal
