Comment on Advanced Javascript: Logical Operators and truthy / falsy by nFriedly

Hi Eric, it looks like you’re confusing the boolean value false with the string value “false”:

var boolean_false = false;
!!boolean_false; // returns false

var string_false = "false";
!!string_false; // return true

I edited the article to clarify that I’m referring to string values.

“false” is evaluated as truthy by both PHP and javascript.

That’s not true in JavaScript:

var a = false,
b = !!a; // false

Frank,

I would take a look at your design and see if objectArray could instead be an Object, and not an Array. If so, I’d change it’s name to objectLookup, and then finding a module with “attendanceindex” is O(1).

   var objectLookup = {
       attendanceindex :
         {
	        moduleKey: "attendancecalendar",
	        iframe: true,
	        innerWidth: 500,
	        innerHeight: 350,
	        opacity: 0.35,
	        scrolling: false,
	        identifierType: "href"
	 },
         // ...rest of contents of objectArray
    };

    //then later..
    var winner = objectLookup.attendanceindex;
