Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are used in logical statements to determine equality or difference between variables or values.
Given that x=5, the table below explains the comparison operators:
Operator Description Example
== (is equal to) x==8, is false
=== (is exactly equal to (value and type)) x===5, is true; x==="5" is false
!= (is not equal) x!=8, is true
> (is greater than) x>8, is false
< (is less than) x<8, is true
>= (is greater than or equal to) x>=8, is false
<= (is less than or equal to) x<=8, is true
