Comparison operations

suggest change

When using boolean coercion, the following values are considered “falsy”:

false
0
"" (empty string)
null
undefined
NaN (not a number, e.g. 0/0)
document.all¹ (browser context)

Everything else is considered “truthy”.

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.

Comparison operations:

*Abstract equality inequality and type conversion

*NaN Property of the Global Object

*Short-circuiting in boolean operators

*Double Negation (!!)

*Abstract equality

*Bitwise operators

*Null and undefined

*Automatic Type Conversions

*Logic Operators with Non-boolean values boolean coercion

*Empty Array

*Logic Operators with Booleans

*Equality comparison operations

*Inequality

*Relational operators

*Grouping multiple logic statements

*List of Comparison Operators

*Bit fields to optimize comparison of multi state data
