.to.equal js code example

Example 1: javascript compare number to string

let string = "1";
let number = 1;
if (parseInt(string) === number){
  	// STRING AND NUMBER MATCHES
}
if (string == number){
  // STRING AND NUMBER MATCHES ALSO BECAUSE == instead of ===, means it won't compare datasets, only the content
}

Example 2: javascript equality

18 === 18 // true
18 === 19 // false
`18` == 18 // true
`18` === 18 // false

// == : loose equality operator (date type IS NOT relevant)
// === : strict equality operator (date type IS relevant)

// Note: the same applies for not equal
`18` != 18 // false
`18` !== 18 // true
