According to Mozilla, the === operator has higher precedence than the || operator, which is what I would expect.
However this statement evaluates to the number 1, rathe
||
is a short circuit operator and conditions are evaluated from left to right.
So here : left || right
, if the left
condition is true
, the whole condition is evaluated to true
and the right
one is never evaluated.
Here :
let x = 1 || 0 === 0; // x === 1;
x = 1
assigns 1
to x
and the second condition after ||
is never evaluated as if (1)
is evaluated
to true
.
And here :
let x = (1 || 0) === 0; // x === false;
(1 || 0)
is evaluated to true
as if (1)
is still evaluated
to true
.
And then true === 0
is evaluated to false
.
So x
is valued to false
.
