"!==" what does it mean?

Question

so I am having a hard time what this means:

return ( number % 2 !== 0);

mostly with the" !==".
does it function the same way as "=" and "=="?
so for example:

(number % 2 !== 0)

console.log(2);

so would it be ( 2 % 2 !==0) the output should be 0.
I am a bit confused, please help! thank you.

Answer 1

In JavaScript, the "!=="" operator is used for strict inequality comparison, which means that it compares two values and returns a Boolean value based on whether they are not equal in value or data type.

In the context of the code you provided, "(number % 2 !== 0)" means that it checks whether the remainder of the division of "number" by 2 is not equal to zero. If the remainder is not equal to zero, then it returns true; otherwise, it returns false.
