Equality comparison

= is an assignment == or === is a comparison - use === until you learn about == and understand why you don't use it.

  • The = operator is always used for assignment.

  • Confusing = and === is a common mistake. Don't worry!
  • The !== operator (written as !==) returns true when the 2 numbers given are NOT the same.
