The use of comparison operators (<
, <=
, >=
, >
) with strings is not likely to yield the expected results. Make sure the intention was to compare strings and not numbers.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
var appleNumber = "123";
var orangeNumber = "45";
if (appleNumber < orangeNumber) { // Noncompliant, this condition is true
alert("There are more oranges");
}

== Compliant Solution
----
var appleNumber = "123";
var orangeNumber = "45";
if (Number(appleNumber) < Number(orangeNumber)) {
alert("There are more oranges");
}
