When const is false why does it still print the first code block, apologies.
const fireIsHot= "true";
if (fireIsHot) {
console.log("Fire is hot!");
} else {
console.log("Fire is not hot!");
}

@MrPain it’s not that only strings should be in quotation marks, it’s that strings _are_ values in quotation marks. – evolutionxbox Oct 01 '22 at 15:42
