Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used in logical statements to determine equality or difference between variables or values.
Given that x = 5, the table below explains the comparison operators:
| Oper | Name / Link | Comparing | Returns |

| == | Equal to | x == 8 | false |
| == | Equal to | x == 5 | true |
| === | Strict Equal | x === "5" | false |
| === | Strict Equal | x === 5 | true |
| != | Not Equal | x != 8 | true |
| !== | Strict not Equal | x !== "5" | true |
| !== | Strict not Equal | x !== 5 | false |
| > | Greater than | x > 8 | false |
| < | Less than | x < 8 | true |
