Logical equality expression in Javascript

Question

Suppose I have two boolean variables and want to know when they are both true or false, in other words, I need a logical equality operator.'

Every JS book suggests bitwise operators, and XOR operator does pretty much the same thing but inverted: it indicates whether boolean variables have different value. So I come up with an expression:

const a = true
const b = false
const c = !(a ^ b)

This code seems quite not obvious when reading. Is there a better and more obvious solution?

`Every JS book suggests bitwise operators`, which books are you reading :) — Davin Tryon, Aug 06 '18 at 15:11

  const c = a === b

Just compare them.
