Difference between =, == , and ===

one extra ‘=’ hit and you’re coding something totally different

• = is used for assigning values to a variable in JavaScript.
• == is used for comparison between two variables irrespective of the data type of variable.
• === is used for comparison between two variables but this will check strict type, which means it will check datatype and compare two values.

Examples

= examples

var a = 4;
//assigning that a is 4

== examples

var a = 4;
console.log(a == "4")
//returns TRUE 
//- as it compares the operands* and not the data type

=== examples

var a = 4;
console.log(a === "4")
//returns FALSE
//- as it compares the operands AND the data type
