Good catch!
Perhaps before now, folks recognized that symbol from familiarity with other languages. That's the equality comparison operator. It compares the values on the left and right, and the entire expression becomes "true" if both values are the same, and "false" otherwise. This will be discussed starting around time index 0:45 in the upcoming video on if / else.
The fact that it was used before being explained is certainly a bug. You might want to report it using the Support page.
