## Operators and Aliases
|
|
|
|
Because the `==` operator frequently causes undesirable coercion, is intransitive, and has a different meaning than in other languages, CoffeeScript compiles `==` into `===`, and `!=` into `!==`. In addition, `is` compiles into `===`, and `isnt` into `!==`.
|
|
|
|
You can use `not` as an alias for `!`.
|
|
|
|
For logic, `and` compiles to `&&`, and `or` into `||`.
|
|
|
|
Instead of a newline or semicolon, `then` can be used to separate conditions from expressions, in **while**, **if**/**else**, and **switch**/**when** statements.
|
|
|
|
As in [YAML](http://yaml.org/), `on` and `yes` are the same as boolean `true`, while `off` and `no` are boolean `false`.
|
|
|
|
`unless` can be used as the inverse of `if`.
|
|
|
|
As a shortcut for `this.property`, you can use `@property`.
|
|
|
|
You can use `in` to test for array presence, and `of` to test for JavaScript object-key presence.
|
|
|
|
To simplify math expressions, `**` can be used for exponentiation and `//` performs integer division. `%` works just like in JavaScript, while `%%` provides [“dividend dependent modulo”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
codeFor('modulo')
|
|
```
|
|
|

All together now:
