Strings: How Are They Compared

How Strings are Compared

JavaScript code

// Determining whether strings are compared by value or reference is easy. // We compare two clearly distinct strings that happen to contain the same // characters. If they are compared by value they will be equal, but if they // are compared by reference, they will not be equal: var s1 = "hello"; var s2 = "hell" + "o"; if (s1 == s2) document.write("Strings compared by value");
