Can an Object be false?

Question

Is there any way to make an object return false in javascript?

var obj = new Object();

console.log(!!obj) // prints \"true\" even if it\'s empty
         


        

Answer 1

Object-to-boolean conversions are trivial. All objects (including arrays and functions) convert to true. This is so even for wrapper objects (new Boolean(false)) is an object rather than a primitive value, and so it converts to true.
