what is the difference between -> and =>? what is ::?
<p>Im a bit new to javascript and I am trying to understand how backbone.js and understand how it works, however there are times that I run into lines like this: </p>

<pre><code>"admin"=&gt;password_hash("pass",PASSWORD_BCRYPT)
</code></pre>

<p>I understand this code is crypting the pass however i dont understand the => symbol. </p>

<p>Furthermore, I have encountered the :: and I dont understand it either. </p>

<p>Anyone know where I can read about this better? I have been searching but I have been unsuccessful to find any tutorial that explains it clearly. </p>

<p>Thanks! </p>
