title: Alternative way to write if statement in javascript
body: <p>I am in the process of shrinking my javascript code and I was wondering if there is a more elegan way to write this huge if statement:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (operator_list == "=" || operator_list == "&lt;&gt;" || operator_list == "&gt;" || operator_list == "&lt;" || operator_list == "&gt;=" || operator_list == "&lt;=" )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
