Question

I am not sure why this is not working, after all if I am correct it should be fine.

But when I run the following

if(lastchatid < obj.id)

it seems not to run.

basiclly lastchatid stores the last chat id and the obj.id is the new obj.id since the last chat id.

I am wondering why this would not work.

Answer 1

If lastchatid and obj.id are number values you can try using:

lastchatid = parseInt(lastchatid, 10)
obj.id= parseInt(obj.id, 10)

and then

if(lastchatid < obj.id)
