console.log([1,2,3] > null); // returns false
// "1,2,3" > null
// NaN > null
// false => Direct returns false ??
The code returns false. Normally NaN > null must be numeric comparison. But result returned false. Why?
Following the steps in the Abstract Relational Comparison algorithm:
[1,2,3] > null - Step 1 (a,b): Apply ToPrimitive to both sides"1,2,3" > null - Step 4 (d, e): Apply ToNumeric to both sidesNow we have NaN > 0, which is false, because any time NaN is involved in any relational operation, the result is false.
In a comment on the question you asked:
But why returns false without comparison.
> is a comparison. I think you mean "without a branching operation or expression" (like if or the conditional operator, ? :). If so, it's because expressions (including relational expressions) have result values whether or not you use those results for branching. The result of a > expression is true or false. If you use that in an if, that's fine, but you don't have to:
const a = 1 > 2;
console.log(a); // false
