Equality is when we use comparison operators to find out if both left and right compared value are equal, (AKA the same).
In the code that we used
var a = '26';
var b = 26;
console.log(a==b); // true (only checks value)
console.log(a===b); // false (compares type as well)
Things are straight forward, as we explain the use of equal sign as comparison operator to find out if:
a==b the values in both a and b, (variables) are the same
and
a===b both the values and the type of a and b variables are the same.
In order to have a better understanding of logical operators here are few more examples of comparison and logical operators.
- != not equal values between a and b (left and right variable/statement).
- !== not equal value or not equal type between a and b (left and right variable/statement).
- > Left statement greater than right statement.
- < Left statement less than right statement.
- >= left statement greater than or equal to right statement. and
- <= Left statement less than or equal to right statement.
