Javascript 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:

Oper Name Comparing Returns Try it
== equal to x == 8 false Try it »
== equal to x == 5 true Try it »
=== equal value and type x === "5" false Try it »
=== equal value and type x === 5 true Try it »
!= not equal x != 8 true Try it »
!== not equal value or type x !== "5" true Try it »
!== not equal value or type x !== 5 false Try it »
> greater than x > 8 false Try it »
< less than x < 8 true Try it »
>= greater or equal to x >= 8 false Try it »
<= less or equal to x <= 8 true Try it »
