JavaScript Comparison Operators
JavaScript Comparison Operators
JavaScript Comparison Operators are special symbols that are used to compare two values. They return a Boolean result (true or false) based on the comparison.
These operators are commonly used in conditional statements (like if, while, or for loops) to make decisions in a program.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| == | Compares the equality of two operands without considering type. |
| === | Compares equality of two operands with type. |
| != | Compares inequality of two operands. |
| > | Checks whether the left side value is greater than the right side value. If yes, then returns true otherwise false. |
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| < | Checks whether the left operand is less than the right operand. If yes, then returns true otherwise false. |
| >= | Checks whether the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand. If yes, then returns true otherwise false. |
| <= | Checks whether the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand. If yes, then returns true otherwise false. |
Example
Sample example program.
let a = 5;
let b = "5";
console.log(a == b); // true (checks only value)
console.log(a === b); // false (checks value + type)
console.log(a > 3); // true
console.log(a <= 2); // false
