What if we want to know whether there’s more pastry flour or shredded Granny Smiths in the
dough? Neither === nor !== would be of any help. Instead, we’d compare those ingredients with the >
greater than operator, which like === and !== returns a boolean verdict—true if its first operand is
greater than its second operand, and false if not. Try comparing some members with the > operator,
verifying your work with Figure 3–13:
var cake = {
dough: {
organicPastryFlour: [1 + 1/2, "cup"],
freshlyGroundNutmeg: [1/4, "tsp"],
saigonCinnamon: [1/2, "tsp"],
soda: [1, "tsp"],
tartar: [1, "tsp"],
egg: [2],
yogurtCheese: [2/3, "cup"],
pureMapleSyrup: [1/3, "cup"],
shreddedGrannySmith: [1 + 2/3, "cup"],
choppedPecans: [1/2, "cup"]
},
icing: {
yogurtCheese: [2/3, "cup"],
pureMapleSyrup: [1 + 1/3, "tbs"],
groundPecans: [2, "tsp"]
}
};
cake.dough.organicPastryFlour[0] > cake.dough.shreddedGrannySmith[0];
// false
cake.dough.choppedPecans[0] > cake.dough.pureMapleSyrup[0];
