Suppose I want to incorporate a boolean value in some string I print out, like

var x=1;
var y=2;
document.write("<p>The result is "+x==y+"</p>");

Normally, this does not give me the requred output. Is there a method to directly print boolean expressions in the document.write() itself? I do not want to use if-else and then assign separate values to variables and then print them. PS - I have just started learning JavaScript.

Put parentheses around the boolean expression:

document.write("<p>The result is " + (x == y) + "</p>");

If you don't, you're doing this:

document.write(("<p>The result is " + x) == (y + "</p>"));

And in general, don't use document.write.

This evaluates to a string:

(x==y).toString();

So you can use:

"<p>The result is " + (x==y).toString() + "</p>"

var x=1;
var y=2;
document.write("<p>The result is "+(x==y)+"</p>");

Will do

The result is false
