JavaScript Comparison Logic

Ok JavaScript, 3 < 2 Isn’t this statement false? Yup 2 < 1 And this is false? Yup 3 < 2 < 1 So this must be false? That makes sense to me console.log(3<2<1); true

A JavaScript programmer presents increasingly confusing chained comparisons to Patrick Star, who agrees that the final expression is true. The joke is that JavaScript evaluates chained comparisons from left to right: 3 < 2 becomes false, and false is coerced to 0, making 0 < 1 true.
