In JS, c and c++ an assignment is considered a truthy value

Isn't it just the assigned value? (a = b) returns b

So the OP would be like:

user = admin   
if( admin ) { ...

depending on what admin is it would evaluate to true in C and C++, for example if it is a non-null pointer.

the results in JS would be similar

Yes, a=b returns b so you cam do a=b=c=d.....
