Difference between == and === in Javascript

The == (or !=) operator performs an automatic type conversion if needed.

In the otherhand, the === (or !==) operator will not perform any conversion. It compares both the value and type, which could be considered faster than ==.

Few Examples

Code Result
[10] === 10 false
[10] == 10 true
'10' == 10 true
'10' === 10 false
[] == 0 true
[] === 0 false
'' == false true
'' === false false
true == "a" false

Best Way to check Falsy values in Javascript

In Javascript world undefined, null, 0, false, NaN, '' (empty string) are all considered as false values.

So while coding if you want to check if a variable have a falsy value or not you need check the variable against all of these. Your code would look messed up if you keep comparing against all of these.

Luckly, there is an easy way. You can apply negation operation on the variable twice (eg. !!variable), which will convert the variable value to appropriate boolean equivalent.

function trueFalseCheck (variable) {
	if( !!variable ) {
	    console.log("True");
	} else {
	    console.log("False");
	}
}
Usage Result
trueFalseCheck(null) false
trueFalseCheck('') false
trueFalseCheck(0) false
trueFalseCheck(undefined) false
trueFalseCheck(false) false
trueFalseCheck(NaN) false
trueFalseCheck(true) true
trueFalseCheck('Amiya') true
trueFalseCheck(10) true
