Introduction to Operations

If a Condition Exists

A comparison is an operation that examines the relationship between two values (or two objects). As is the case for all C-based languages, the primary operator to use is named if. The primary formula to use it is:

if( expression ) {
	statement;
}

In the parentheses of if(), create an expression-based comparison. Inside the curly brackets, create one or more statements that will execute.

Boolean Operators

A Boolean operator is an operator used to compare two values. JavaScript primarily supports the operators of the C language, some of them with slight modifications.

Performing Comparisons

A Comparison for Equality

To find out if two values are the same, create an expression that separates them with the === operator.. You can compare a variable to a value to find out whether the variable holds the value to which it is being compared. You can perform the comparison on numeric values. Here is an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Exercise</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="Scripts/angular.js"></script>

<section ng-app="appExercise">
    <div ng-controller="ExerciseController as ec">
        <p>Employment Summary: {{ec.conclusion}}</p>
    </div>
</section>

<script type="text/javascript">
    var appExercise = angular.module("appExercise", []);
    appExercise.controller("ExerciseController", function () {
        var employeeId = 24;

        if (employeeId === 24) {
            this.conclusion = "Welcome Mrs. Landford, you will now be redirected to a classified document created 'for your eyes only'. As the system is monitoring all activities on the document, please don't make any copy of the document and don't send it to anybody.";
        }
    });
</script>
</body>
</html>

In the same way, you can perform a comparison on strings. Here is an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Exercise</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="Scripts/angular.js"></script>

<section ng-app="appExercise">
    <div ng-controller="ExerciseController as ec">
        <p>Employment Summary: {{ec.conclusion}}</p>
    </div>
</section>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var appExercise = angular.module("appExercise", []);
    appExercise.controller("ExerciseController", function () {
        var status = "Full Time";

        if (status === "Full Time") {
            this.conclusion = "Full Benefits";
        }
    });
</script>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript also accepts the == operator used by the other C-based languages.

A Comparison for Inequality

To find out if two values are not equality, use the !== operator in an expression. Here is an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Exercise</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="Scripts/angular.js"></script>

<section ng-app="appExercise">
    <div ng-controller="ExerciseController as ec">
        <p>Employment Summary: {{ec.conclusion}}</p>
    </div>
</section>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var appExercise = angular.module("appExercise", []);
    appExercise.controller("ExerciseController", function () {
        var status = "Part Time";

        if (status !== "Full Time") {
            this.conclusion = "Basic Benefits";
        }
    });
</script>
</body>
</html>

You can also use the != operator of the other C-based languages.

A Comparison for Lower Value

To find out if one value is lower than another value, include them in an expression and separate them with the < operator. The comparison is primarily performed on numbers. Here is an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Exercise</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="Scripts/angular.js"></script>

<section ng-app="appExercise">
    <div ng-controller="ExerciseController as ec">
        <p>Classroom Summary: {{ec.conclusion}}</p>
    </div>
</section>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var appExercise = angular.module("appExercise", []);
    appExercise.controller("ExerciseController", function () {
        var capacity = 35;

        if (capacity < 55) {
            this.conclusion = "55 students had registered for the course but Room 102 classroom can accomodate only fewer people.";
        }
    });
</script>
</body>
</html>

The < operation can also be performed on strings. Here is an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Exercise</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="Scripts/angular.js"></script>

<section ng-app="appExercise">
    <div ng-controller="ExerciseController as ec">
        <p>Countries Statistics: {{ec.conclusion}}</p>
    </div>
</section>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var appExercise = angular.module("appExercise", []);
    appExercise.controller("ExerciseController", function () {
        var pais = "Zambia";
        var country = "Zimbabwe";

        if (pais < country) {
            this.conclusion = "Zimbabwe comes before Zambia";
        }
    });
</script>
</body>
</html>

When the comparison is made on strings, the interpreter will check the rules of the language of the computer used by your visitor. The interpreter will compare the characters of each string by the positions of the characters.

The Comparison for a Lower or Equal Value

To combine the comparions for equality and lower values, use the <= operator. Here is an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Exercise</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="Scripts/angular.js"></script>

<section ng-app="appExercise">
    <div ng-controller="ExerciseController as ec">
        <p>Employment Summary: {{ec.conclusion}}</p>
    </div>
</section>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var appExercise = angular.module("appExercise", []);
    appExercise.controller("ExerciseController", function () {
        var yearlySalary = 40000;

        if (yearlySalary <= 50000) {
            this.conclusion = "The employment candidate will not accept a salary lower than $50,000 a year.";
        }
    });
</script>
</body>
</html>

The Comparison for Greater Value

To find out if one value is greater than another, use the > operator.

The Comparison for Greater or Equal Value

To find out if one value is greater than or equal to another, use the >= operator.
