Example Sentences
- "In JavaScript, any expression or statement that expects a boolean value will work with a truthy or falsy value, so the fact that && does not always evaluate to true or false does not cause practical problems."
- "However, in the second case, both '0' and the empty string () are falsy (in other words, they behave like false) and are therefore equal with respect to ==."
- "If the first operand (which comes before the question mark--doIt, in this example) is truthy, the expression evaluates to the second operand (between the question mark and colon), and if it's falsy, it evaluates to the third operand (after the colon)."
