Greater than operator given wrong response inside console.log in javascript

Question

I have tried conditional operator inside console.log(). Less than < returns correct response but greater than > returns wrong respon

Answer 1

The < operator accepts two operands and yields a boolean result. Your code is effectively:

let temp = 7 > 6;
console.log(temp);      // true
let result = temp > 5;
console.log(result);    // false

The reason temp > 5 is false is that true > 5 coerces true to a number (1), and 1 > 5 is false.

Insead, use && if you want a logical AND condition:

console.log(7 > 6 && 6 > 5); // true
