JavaScript Tutorials | Beginner | Understanding Identity & Equality Operators | Chap-5 | Part-2

This video is about Understanding Identity & Equality Operators in JavaScript. We started off with the comparison operators in the first part of this chapter. In this tutorial, we shall understand with a demonstration on how the equality operator and the identity operator behaves when rendered in a browser. Although both are used to test the equivalence of the left-hand operand with the right-hand operand, they have a fundamental difference in JavaScript programs. Equality comparison operator only checks the value and hence if it encounters two values in two different primitive data types, then it will convert one of them to match the other but for identity operator no conversion/coercion works. It literally checks both the existing values and their primitive data types and if both matches, then the block of code in the if statement will be executed. Besides, in conditionals, we have two types of statements, the first is the if/else if/else statements and we will look at a demonstration on its behaviour and its format in this scripting language. The condition that is passed in for the if statement will need to result in a boolean value of true, otherwise the JavaScript compiler will ignore the code-block for the if statement if the condition is rendered to be a boolean value of false.
