JavaScript Comparison and Logical Operators


Comparison Operators (given x = 5)

Operator Description Example
== is equal to 5 == 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 5 > 8 is false
< is less than 5 < 8 is true
>= is greater than or equal to 5 >= 8 is false
<= is less than or equal to 5 <= 8 is true

Logical Operators (given x=6 and y=3)
Operator Description Example
&& and ( x < 10 && y > 1 ) is true
|| or ( x == 5 || y == 5 ) is false
! not !( x == y ) is true

Conditional Operator

 var1 = ( cond ) ? val1 : val2;

A conditional operator assigns a value to a variable based on some condition. For the script, if the OK button is clicked, then go back to the default homepage. Otherwise, go back to the current page.
