Why are two identical objects not equal to each other?

Question

Seems like the following code should return a true, but it returns false.

var a = {};
var b = {};

console.log(a==b); //returns false
console.log(a===b); //

In Javascript each object is unique hence `{} == {}` or `{} === {}` returns false. In other words Javascript compares objects by identity, not by value.

 1. Double equal to `( == )` Ex: `'1' == 1` returns true because type is excluded 
     
 2. Triple equal to `( === )` Ex: `'1' === 1` returns false compares strictly, checks for type even
