Question

Just learning to code JavaScript, trying to learn if statements but my code isn\'t working:

var car = 8;
if (car = 9) {
    document.write(\"your code is not wor         


        

Answer 1

= is called assignment operator in JavaScript, it assigns the value of the right hand side expression to the variable on the left hand side.

You have to use comparison operator instead of assignment operator like this

if (car === 9)

We have two comparison operators in JavaScript, == and ===. The difference between them is that,

== checks if the values are the same, but === checks if the type and the value is also the same.
