Javascript Comparison Operators
== Equal to
=== Equal value and equal type
!= Not equal
!== Not equal value or not equal type
> Greater than
< Less than
>= Greater than or equal to
<= Less than or equal to
? Ternary operator
Operator Description Example
== Equal to: returns true if the operands are equal x == y
!= Not equal to: returns true if the operands are not equal x != y
=== Strict equal to: true if the operands are equal and of the same type x === y
!== Strict not equal to: true if the operands are equal but of different type or not equal at all x !== y
> Greater than: true if left operand is greater than the right operand x > y
>= Greater than or equal to: true if left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand x >= y
< Less than: true if the left operand is less than the right operand x < y
<= Less than or equal to: true if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand x <= y
18 === 18 // true
18 === 19 // false
`18` == 18 // true
`18` === 18 // false
// == : loose equality operator (date type IS NOT relevant)
// === : strict equality operator (date type IS relevant)
// Note: the same applies for not equal
`18` != 18 // false
`18` !== 18 // true
// equal operator
console.log(2 == 2); // true
console.log(2 == '2'); // true
// not equal operator
console.log(3 != 2); // true
console.log('hello' != 'Hello'); // true
// strict equal operator
console.log(2 === 2); // true
console.log(2 === '2'); // false
// strict not equal operator
console.log(2 !== '2'); // true
console.log(2 !== 2); // false

}
//Output: num3 is bigger then num1 and num2
