(true + false) > 2 + true; Why does this return false?

Question

Im studying javascript and can\'t figure it out why this line returns false:

(true + false) > 2 + true

Answer 1

The reason is called type coercion; You're using two boolean values in an arithmetic operation which is not feasible unless the interpreter converts them into numbers first.

true --> 1 false --> 0

Try it yourself; type +true and you will get 1;
