In JavaScript, can you use toLowerCase() after a variable is declared in a conditional statement?

Question

Whenever I use toLowerCase() in JavaScript, I seem to always have problems such as typeError: "x" is not a function.

Ex.

var x = "Pie";
if (x.toLowerCase() = "pie") {
 // Code isn't executed
}

Answer 1

use this

var x = "Pie";
if (x.toLowerCase() == "pie") {
  // Code isn't executed
}

notice the double equal ( == ) or you can use ( === ).
