How to avoid assignments while comparing in Javascript? [closed]

Answer 1

a = b is an assignment. Meaning a will equal to b.

a == b is a comparison. Meaning does a equal to b.

a === b is the same as == however no type conversion is done. Meaning does a equal to b, but also is it the same object/type?

Where your going wrong with your code is

var test = 1;
if(test = 2) { //this is true, because test now equals 2.
   console.log(test);
}
