When a == b is true after initialize these

var a = 10, b = "10.0";

... then you're using Perl

@ac1235 i don't know about perl but i was referring javascript

@harrizsb
Types and values are not checked the same way in JavaScript as they are in other languages.

In JS, you must use the "===" operator to check value _and_ type.

Technically, at least from the programmers perspective, "10" and 10 hold the same _value_ but they are different types(string and int).

The "==" operator checks only the type.

So yes, this is true:
"10.0" == 10
But this is not:
"10.0" === 10

Keep in mind that this is also true:
10.0 === 10

This "quirk" can be quite useful at times. But you must know that it exists.

There are many subtleties in JS.
This is one of them 😉

@coolq yup i did know that but i was inspired by how strict javascript is, which make my eyes keep open for this kind of thing

@harrizsb
Okay, just making sure 😉
