✏️ 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?
Code
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 atrue
andfalse
return value.
