Learn about Numbers and Operators in Javascript

NUMBERS AND OPERATORS

Github Code – https://github.com/ankur-srivastava/javascript-lectures/blob/master/Lecture3/index.js

Usually we deal with three types of numbers –

1. Integers like 3, 34
2. Floating Point like 3.12, 93.34
3. Doubles like 1.3452345

JS has only one data type for numbers called Number.

Let’s declare two numbers

let num1 = 32;
let num2 = 44;

Arithmetic Operators

With JS you have all the mathematical operators available to perform various operations.
Like add, substract etc.

2+3
4/2
4%2

We use operator precedence rules when evaluating a complex expression

let x = 3+2*6/2

It’s good to use parenthesis.

(3+2)*(6/2)

Increment Operators using Postfix operator

let x = 4;
x++
x

Comparison Operators

If you want to check that two values are identical you can use === operator
Similarly to check if they are not equal you can use !==

=== compares the data type also, in addition to it’s value. == does not.

Other frequently used comparison operators include : <, >, <=

Mostly in conditional statements like if-else
if(x > y)
