@Mykle1 when handling false/true I don’t think you are supposed to use ’ ’ around it.
Should be handled like numbers.

Well, I’m an idiot! Thanks bro. I’ll change that right now.

That did the trick. :clap_tone2:

Yes true and false in that case are used as a boolean so you don’t use ’ ’ or " " :)


Very often, in programming, you will need a data type that can only have one of two values, like

YES / NO
ON / OFF
TRUE / FALSE
For this, JavaScript has a Boolean data type. It can only take the values true or false.

I had to learn that too :)

@Mykle1 In case you want to know why:

'false' is a string and a string always represents the boolean true, so 'test', 'true' and 'false' all become true it doesn’t matter what the content of the string is.

So, the single quotes ' are what make it a string? Meaning, whatever is inside single quotes is considered a string?
And if that is so, then what is the word true or false without the quotes called? A value? A parameter?

Obviously, I’m still confused, but thank you for the lesson.

@Mykle1 everything in single or double quotes is a string, string is a type for text.

There are multiple types:

object {}
array []
number 2, -17 and 3.14
string "I am a string" and 'me too'
boolean true or false

Ok, thank you. I do appreciate the information. Some of it is starting to make sense. I’ve learned quite a bit in the short time that I’ve been here.
