Introduction to JavaScript: First Steps

Let's introduce some logical operators to make if-statements more powerful.

## `!`

The `!` operator is called the "not"-operator. It does two things to a value: it coerces it to either `true` or `false`, and then gives the *opposite* value. Falsey values become `true` and truthy values become `false`.

For example, `!true` will become `false`. `!0` will become `true`. `!''` will become `true`. Think of this operator as saying "This item is NOT true" or "This item is NOT false".
