JavaScript Arithmetic with Boolean Values
the JavaScript code
console.log((true + true) * (true + true) - true * true);
uses boolean values in arithmetic operations. In JavaScript, true
is treated as 1
for these operations. Let's break down the code step by step:
- First part:
(true + true)
true
is treated as1
, sotrue + true
is1 + 1
, which equals2
.
- Second part:
(true + true) * (true + true)
- we just fond that
true + true
is2
. So, this becomes2 * 2
, which equals4
.
- we just fond that
- Third part:
true * true
- Again,
true
is1
, sotrue * true
is1 * 1
, which equals1
.
- Again,
- final calculation:
4 - 1
- Subtracting
1
from4
gives3
.
- Subtracting
so the output of the code is 3
.
this happens because in JavaScript, true
behaves like 1
when you use it in mathematical operations.
