Comparison Operators in JavaScript

Comparison operators in JavaScript, are used to compare between two variables or values. For example:

HTML with JavaScript Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   
   <p id="xyz"></p>

   <script>
      let x = 20;
      let y = 20;
      if(x==y) {
         document.getElementById("xyz").innerHTML = "The value of 'x' is equal to the value of 'y'";
      } else {
         document.getElementById("xyz").innerHTML = "The value of 'x' is not equal to the value of 'y'";
      }
   </script>
   
</body>
</html>

Output

Note - Comparison operators in JavaScript, returns boolean value (true/false). Therefore x==y or 20==20 returns true, because both numbers are obviously equals to each other.

      document.getElementById("para5").innerHTML = a===d;

      document.getElementById("para6").innerHTML = a!=b;
      document.getElementById("para7").innerHTML = a!=c;

      document.getElementById("para8").innerHTML = a!==b;
      document.getElementById("para9").innerHTML = a!==c;
      document.getElementById("para10").innerHTML = a!==d;
      
      document.getElementById("para11").innerHTML = a>b;
      document.getElementById("para12").innerHTML = a>c;

      document.getElementById("para13").innerHTML = a<b;
      document.getElementById("para14").innerHTML = a<c;

      document.getElementById("para15").innerHTML = a>=b;
      document.getElementById("para16").innerHTML = a>=c;

      document.getElementById("para17").innerHTML = a<=b;
      document.getElementById("para18").innerHTML = a<=c;
