This is simple logical combining.

It is not the same as testing for equality (===). The and operator (&&) returns true when the values on either side are both true.

So what the function canSubmit does is to call three other functions (isPasswordValid, arePasswordsMatching, and isUsernamePresent. Each of these functions will return true or false. If all of them return true, then canSubmt will also return true. If any of the three returns false, then canSubmit will return false.
