Also when describing how to use the ternary operator putting
var y = (x == 3);
Is pretty useless Regardless of Boolean or String.
var y = (x == 3) ? true : false;
is the best example as it shows the user full use of the ternary including using for assignment.
The original example could be edited to
(x == 3) ? y="true" : z="true";
So the user can see that the operator is used to assign values to multiple variables.

In the example, y is being assigned a string value "true" or "false", not the boolean values true or false. i.e.<br><br><script language=javascript><br> var x = 3;<br> var y = (x == 3) ? "true" : "false";<br> var z = (x == 3);<br> a = z==y ? true : false;<br> document.write(y + " " + z + " " + a);<br></script><br><br>results in "true true false"<br>being that (true != "true") It may be clearer to use “var y = (x == 3);”, but not the same. In the example, y is being assigned a string value “true” or “false”, not the boolean values true or false. i.e.

<script language=javascript>
var x = 3;
var y = (x == 3) ? “true” : “false”;
var z = (x == 3);
a = z==y ? true : false;
document.write(y + ” ” + z + ” ” + a);
</script>

results in “true true false”
being that (true != “true”)

var y = (x == 3) ? true : false;

or just

var y = (x == 3);
