How do I compare code to one another in a console?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am new to learning code, so I do not know what to do. Through my course online I discovered that you can compare text using ==
So when I put "yes" == "yes" the console will say True
It's a pretty neat feature, but back on topic.
How can I compare code to one another? For example, I want to compare:
"The file located at "C:\DesktopMy DocumentsRosternames.txt" contains the names on the roster."
To another code, but with it telling me if it's similar or not. How do I do it? I read somewhere about using Escaping Strings, but I don't know where to place them.
I appreciate the help,

Is this purely javascript? What is your workflow? do you have a backend? have you already started in reading the file? I think thats the first thing you should search for rather than comparing.

I am using Udacity to learn... My console is the one you get when right click on Chrome... I just want to see how the command would work.

Testing for equality compares data on each side of the operator.
== is the loose equality operator.
=== is the strict equality operator.
They differ in how they respond to arguments.
Example:
The string "9" and the number 9 are evaluated by loose equality operator as true
"9" == 9 // returns true
However, the strict equality operator, as its name might suggest, also compares the type of data (string vs. number)
"9" === 9 // returns false
More examples and cases can be found here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Equality_comparisons_and_sameness
For comparing the contents of a file, my suggestion in your case would be to parse the file from .json, so that you can treat it as a JavaScript object. Then you can compare the contents with strings of names.
