comment not a question really...

Question

Just noticed on the Comparison Operator section that on the example shown below it reads.

var num = 10;
//num ==8 will return a false

I think it should be wrote as...
var num ==10;
//num ==8 will return a false

Anyways.. Do not want to be the "SYNTAX POLICE" but noticed this and belief this is just a Syntax error/Typo.

Thoughts?

Answer 2

What they are saying is, first you store `10` in `num`:

var num = 10;

Then, if you compare that variable to `8`, the result will be `false`:

if(num == 8)
alert("10 is equal to 8 lmao");
else
alert("no way jose");

Try it in the code playground:

The first operator `=` is assignment, you are telling the variable what value it is. The second `==` is comparison, you are asking the variable whether it is equal to a value.

Answer 3

Josh.Reese🐼💨🔥 First you should know about Single equal sign (=) and double equal sign (==) then you will know that

var num = 10 is correct not var num == 10

yes . definately false but think the problem should read.

var num==10; instead of var num=10;
