Understanding Boolean Logic in JavaScript

The document explains the fundamentals of Boolean logic, emphasizing that statements can be either True or False and can be combined to form complex statements. It covers comparison and logical operators, type conversion, and type coercion in JavaScript, illustrating how different data types can be converted and how operators affect these conversions. Additionally, it provides exercises to practice understanding of these concepts.

Boolean Logic

True, False, and Beyond


Boolean Logic

•Everything starts with the idea


that a statement is either True or
False

•Then we can combine those


initial statements to create more
complex statements that also
evaluate to True or False
Comparison Operators
Assuming x = 5
Equality Operators
== vs. ===
var x = 99;

x == "99" //true

x === "99" //false

var y = null;

y == undefined //true

y === undefined //false

"==" performs type coercion, while "===" does not


Logical Operators
AND, OR, and NOT

Assuming x = 5 and y = 9
Exercise 1

var x = 10;

var y = "a"

y === "b" || x >= 10


Exercise 2

var x = 3;

var y = 8;

!(x == "3" || x === y) && !(y != 8 && x <= y)


Exercise 3
var str = ""

var msg = “lol!"

var isFunny = "false"

!(( str || msg ) && isFunny)


Type Conversion
•In JavaScript there are 5 different data types that
can contain values:
• string
• number
• boolean
• object
• function
Number() converts to a Number,
String() converts to a String,
Boolean() converts to a Boolean.
Example
var str = "123";
Number(str) // returns a number from a string variable str ie, 123

var x = 5;
String(x) // returns a string from a number variable x ie, "5"

String(true) // returns "true"

Boolean(0) // returns false


Boolean(12) // returns true
Boolean("") // returns false
Type Coercion
•Type Coercion refers to the process of automatic
or implicit conversion of values from one data type
to another.

•This includes conversion from Number to String,


String to Number, Boolean to Number etc. when
different types of operators are applied to the
values.
Example
// The Number 10 is converted to
// string '10' and then '+'
// concatenates both strings
var x = 10 + '20';
var y = '20' + 10;

// The Boolean value true is converted


// to string 'true' and then '+'
// concatenates both the strings
var z = true + '10';
