The assignment operator,=, is different from the equality operator (double equal),==.
The following table shows the equality, relational and logical operators used in JavaScript:
Relational operator Example in JavaScript Meaning
== a==b a equal to b
=== a===b a equal to b value and type (for example: assume a = 9; a=== 9 is true but a==='9' is false)
!= a!=b a is not equal to be
> a>b a is greater than be
< a<b a is less than be
>= a>=b a is greater or equal to be b
<= a<=b a is less or equal to be
Logical operator Meaning Example in JavaScript && and (a < 7 && b > 5)
|| or (a < 7 || b > 5)
! not !(a == b)
