confirm() results return different results from console.log()

Question

as you can see prompt returns false and when you press ok console.log prints true. I was really confused how did that happened? does prompt reads, they do not have the same letter reason why it returns false? and console returns true coz they have the same type?

The return value of a confirm is not based on your expression you pass into it. It is based on what button the user clicked. So, while 'y'==='n' will always be false , the confirm will return true if the OK, button is clicked.

 console.log(confirm("If you click OK, 'true' is returned. If you click Cancel, 'false' is returned. What's returned has nothing to do with the value you pass to the confirm() method. That is simply the data to be displayed in the dialog."));
