Coerces oObject
to boolean. If it was falsey (e.g. 0, null
, undefined
, etc.), it will be false
, otherwise, true
.
!oObject //Inverted boolean
!!oObject //Non inverted boolean so true boolean representation
So !!
is not an operator, it's just the !
operator twice.
Real World Example "Test IE version":
let isIE8 = false;
isIE8 = !! navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE 8.0/);
console.log(isIE8); // returns true or false
If you ⇒
console.log(navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE 8.0/));
// returns either an Array or null
but if you ⇒
console.log(!!navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE 8.0/));
// returns either true or false
