It is a comparison operator. It returns true, if both values are the same, otherwise false Example: 5 == 5 //true 5 == 4 //false 5 == "5" //true, works for different datatypes

In Python 5 == "5" is False. == is used to check, whether 2 compared values have the equal value and returns a boolean (True or False). == in words: "is equal to".

Airree for the last example, I don't agree. In some langages, like JS, you're right but in python, it returns False.
