✏️ 1.2.0.19 Practice: Assignment, Comparison, and Equality Operators

Goal: In the Assignment, Comparison, and Equality Operators lesson, we learned:

• The difference between = and ===
• The assignment operators for each of the mathematical functions: +=, -=, *=, /=
• Comparison operators, including <, >, <=, and >=
• Equality operators, including === and !==

Take time to practice using these operators by completing the exercises listed below.

Warm Up

---

• What is the difference between a comparison operator and an assignment operator?
• What is a boolean? What does it represent?
• How is the += operator different from the + operator?

Assignment & Comparison Practice

Practice assigning and comparing:

• Set two variables equal to two different numbers. Use a comparison operator to compare these two variables.
• Change one of their values by using the +=, -=, *=, or /= operator.
• Then, compare their values again.

If you are working with a pair, switch who's driving and observing and continue with this practice:

• Try out the <= and >= operators by comparing two numbers.
• Try out using === equality operator by comparing two strings.
• Next, use the !== equality operator on two strings or numbers to get a true and false return value.
