Strings and logic in javascript
What happens if you compare two strings with a logical AND in javascript.
var pet = "Dog" && "Cat"What ist the value of pet?
a) Dog
b) Cat
c) DogCat
d) an error occurred
e) Something else
Result
b) the value is "Cat", cause Javascript ignores the operator and keeps the (last) value.Because you're using &&, JavaScript is promising you that it will verify that both sides of the expression are true. In this case, "Cat" is just the last evaluated thing.

var pet = "Dog" || "Cat"What ist the value of pet?
a) Dog
b) Cat
c) DogCat
d) an error occurred
e) Something else
Result
a) the value is "Dog"Using ||, JavaScript is promising you that at least one of the sides is true. Since "Dog" is true, it stops there and returns "Dog".
