Hi Prestigepark,
The main difference between "==" and "==="
operators is that "==" performs type coercion, while "==="
does not.
When you use "==" to compare values, JavaScript tries to
convert the operands to a common type before making the comparison. This can
lead to unexpected behavior because different types can be considered equal.
For example, "5" == 5 evaluates to true because JavaScript converts
the string "5" to the number 5.
On the other hand, "===" performs a strict comparison
without any type coercion. It checks both the value and the data type of the
operands. If the operands have different types, the comparison will always
evaluate to false.
In simple terms, "==" is more lenient and allows for
type conversion, while "===" is stricter and only considers values
equal if they have the same type. It is generally safer to use "==="
for precise and predictable comparisons.
