    (it always returns true. always. whether you compare !== or == or whatever. it's literally always)

    What about 1 === NaN? Can't test right now but that might return false.

    We ask this in our interviews. And its always false not true. This is not just a JavaScript thing.

    The NaN != NaN thing is defined so in the standard for floating point numbers (IEEE 754).

    well say if

    const a = 'asdaxaz'
    a == NaN

    in this case you are comparing string value with a NaN value rather then checking for NaN. So it is like saying

    a == 'string'
