Tests on non-null values
/*
If it's not null, we can return a true
*/

Tests on non empty values
/*
If it's empty, we can return an empty String
*/

Tests with numbers
const var1 = 2;
const var2 = 3;
// EQUALITY
if (var1 == var2){ // FALSE
//...
}
// INEQUALITY
if (var1 != var){ // TRUE
//...
}
// STRICTLY SUPERIOR
if (var1 > var){ // FALSE
//...
}
// SUPERIOR OR EQUALS
if (var1 > var){ // FALSE
//...
}
// INFERIOR OR EQUALS
if (var1 <= var){ // TRUE
//...
}
Tests with strings
const string1 = "this is my string"
const string2 = "this is a string"
// EQUALITY
if (string1 == string2) { // FALSE
//...
}
// INEQUALITY
if (string1 != string2) { // TRUE
//...
}
Operands
/*
AND
*/
if (var1 == var2 && var2 == var3){

/*
OR

Switch
const expr = 'Papayas';
switch (expr) {
case 'Oranges':
console.log('Oranges are $0.59 a pound.');
break;
case 'Mangoes':

console.log('Mangoes and papayas are $2.79 a pound.');
// expected output: "Mangoes and papayas are $2.79 a pound."
