What does two equal signs (==) mean?

That is the ‘equal to’ sign sign. It’s called an ‘comparison operator’.

e..g. text.length == text.length OR text.length == 4 OR 5 + 10 == 15

As far as I know, comparison operators are used with Booleans(True or False data type) to determine whether or not a block of code should run. You’ll often see them in ‘if statements’. e.g.

if (6 == toffee.length) { return “This is true”; }

else { return “This is incorrect”; }

There are other comparison operators: < Less than

Greater than <= Less than but equal to = Greater than but equal to == Equal to != Not equal to

There is also another Equal to comparison operator. It is === . It’s evil twin would be !== (Not equal to).

You DO NOT use == or === when declaring a variable.So something like:

var myName == Toffee; is a big no no and this will explain why you’ll see ‘** for (var j=i;**’ instead of ‘for (var j==i;’ in line 3.

Sorry for the typos; in a hurry.
