Thanks man. What is the difference between = and ==?

Thanks man. What is the difference between = and ==?

<div>
&quot;=&quot; is an assignment operator, &quot;==&quot; is a comparison operator<br />
i.e., if(A=false) is not a comparison operation. that is an assignment. you assign &quot;false&quot; to A.<br />
if(A==false) is an comparison operation. (A==false) returns true or false.
</div>


"=" is an assignment operator, "==" is a comparison operator
i.e., if(A=false) is not a comparison operation. that is an assignment. you assign "false" to A.
if(A==false) is an comparison operation. (A==false) returns true or false.

Thanks for the explanation!
