I'm learning javascript and want to make sure i understand what is happening here.
Is the 'if' part of the statement in my code saying "string" (as in the type of data it is) == "images/card_back.jpg" therefore returns false.
It also returns false if i change == "images/card_back.jpg" to == "string". Is this because although the type of data is "string" it's not the same thing because it's essentially saying data type "string" is the same as the characters "string".
Also is the 'if else' part of the statement using the match() function to find "card" within the "images/card_back.jpg" source character string therefore returns true as card is in that string.
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = typeof document.getElementById("myImage").src;
if (document.getElementById("myImage").src == "images/card_back.jpg"){
document.getElementById("output 1").innerHTML = "output 1 working"
} else if(document.getElementById("myImage").src.match("card")){
document.getElementById("output 2").innerHTML = "output 2 working"
}else {

The code outputs:
string
output 2 working
(an image of the back of a card)
