What’s the difference between == and === in JavaScript?
I've seen both == and === used in JavaScript code, but I'm not sure what the difference is between them. When should I use one over the other? Could someone explain how they work and why choosing the right one is important?
Answers
Use == if you want JavaScript to ignore type differences (e.g., comparing "5" and 5). Use === for a safer, more exact comparison (e.g., "5" and 5 will be treated as different).
