how to compare two strings in javascript if condition

Question

I\'m having trouble recalling how to compare these two strings in an if statement. What I\'m string to do is check if my variable compare equals page1

Answer 1

a.localeCompare(b) is another cool way of comparing larger strings

function areEqual(a, b){


  if (a.length !== b.length) {
         return false;
  }

  return a.localeCompare(b) === 0;
}


if(areEqual(a,b)){...}
