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	Comparing	Returns
==	is equal to	x==8	false
		x==5	true
===	is exactly equal to (value and type)	x==="5"	false
		x===5	true
!=	is not equal	x!=8	true
!==	is not equal (neither value nor type)	x!=="5"	true
		x!==5	false
>	is greater than	x>8	false
<	is less than	x<8	true
>=	is greater than or equal to	x>=8	false
<=	is less than or equal to	x<=8	true

Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to determine the logic between variables or values.
Given that x=6 and y=3, the table below explains the logical operators:

Operator	Description	Example
&&	and	(x < 10 && y > 1) is true
||	or	(x==5 || y==5) is false
!	not	!(x==y) is true
