how MIPS 32 pipeline checks earlier that whether branch is taken or not by comparing to zero code example

Example 1: how to check in which brach we are in git

git branch -a # it will show an astrick * like *master
git branch --show-current # source == git remote --help

Example 2: Use the conditional operator in the checkEqual function to check if two numbers are equal or not. The function should return either "Equal" or "Not Equal".

function checkEqual(a, b) {
  return a === b ? "Equal" : "Not Equal";
}
