JavaScript defines true as anything other than 0 (zero), "" (empty string), null, undefined, and false. | |
Logical AND (&& ) | |
The logical AND operator (&&) returns true if the expression to the both sides of the operator evaluates to true. | |
If either the left, right, or both expressions evaluate to false, the result of the operation is false. | |
The AND operation begins by evaluating the left operand. | |
If the left operand evaluates false, the basic logic of the AND operator is complete. | |
But if the left operand evaluates true, the right operand must be evaluated. | |
Logical OR | |
The logical OR operator (||) returns false if the expression to the both sides of the operator evaluates to false. | |
If one of the left and the right expressions evaluate to true, the result of the operation is true. | |
The OR operation begins by evaluating the left operand. | |
If the left operand evaluates true, the basic logic of the OR operator is complete. | |
But if the left operand evaluates false, the right operand must be evaluated. | |
Logical NOT | |
If the expression evaluates to true, the result of the logical NOT operator (!) is false. | |
If the expression evaluates to false, the result is true. | |
When the expression evaluates to a non-Boolean value, it is converted to true or false before performing the inversion. | |
Identity | |
If the value on the left is equal to the value on the right side of the operator, true is returned from the identity operator (===). | |
If the values are not equal, false is returned. | |
No type-conversion is performed on the operands before the comparison. | |
Non-Identity | |
If the value on the left is not equal to the value on the right side of the operator, true is returned from the non-identity operator (!==). | |
If the values are equal, false is returned. | |
No type-conversion is performed on the operands before the comparison is made. | |
The identity and non-identity operators are only available in JavaScript 1.3 and later. | |
