Javascript

Question

What would be the output of this code snippet?

var a=10, b=20, c=30;
if(c>b>a)
{console.log('1')};
else
{console.log('2')};

Answer 1

Abhay is right. the boolean evaluation works from left to right. therefore if something is true will return 1, if false will return 0, and after that, it goes to the next evaluation on the right using the returned value as comparison

what actually happens is this:

c > b > a means 30 > 20 > 10

the evaluation is from left to right meaning this

c > b => 30 > 20 => 1 => true

since c > b is 1 (true) you will continue like this:

1 > a => 1 > 10 => 0 => false

the result is false

Answer 2

The output is 2 ,I have no logical reason behind it but seems like c>b evalutates to True first and is converted to 1 for True and 1>a is checked which is false
