Comparing Things ⚖️
Hi, comparing champion! 🌟 Today we compare things to see what is bigger, smaller, or the same.
We use >, <, and ===! 🪄
console.log(5 > 3)Bigger Than > 🐘
The > sign means "bigger than".
10 > 2 is true because 10 IS bigger than 2! Think of a hungry mouth eating the bigger number. 🐊
console.log(10 > 2)Smaller Than < 🐜
The < sign means "smaller than".
2 < 10 is true because 2 IS smaller than 10! 🐜
console.log(2 < 10)Exactly Equal === 🟰
The === (three equals) means "exactly the same".
7 === 7 is true! And 7 === 8 is false. 🎯
console.log(7 === 7)True or False Answers 🎲
Every comparison gives you true or false!
Try a comparison that is false. 🐟
console.log(3 > 9)Comparing in an if 🚪
We use comparisons inside if to make choices!
If the comparison is true, the door opens. 🚪
if (8 > 5) {
console.log("8 wins! 🏆")
}Comparing Boxes 📦
We can compare numbers saved in boxes!
Let us race two numbers. 🏁
let apples = 6
let oranges = 4
if (apples > oranges) {
console.log("More apples! 🍎")
}Comparing Words 🔤
We can use === to compare strings too!
"cat" === "cat" is true. "cat" === "dog" is false. 🐱🐶
console.log("cat" === "cat")Who is Taller? 📏
Let us compare two heights to see who is taller!
The > sign helps us decide. 🦒
let me = 120
let friend = 130
if (friend > me) {
console.log("My friend is taller! 🦒")
}Not Equal Surprise 😮
If two things are NOT the same, === gives false.
Let us see! 🎈
console.log(5 === 10)Your Comparing Game 🎮
Change the numbers and see if the result is true or false!
You are the judge. ⚖️
let score = 7
console.log(score > 5)
console.log(score < 5)Quick Check ✅
