When would JavaScript == make more sense than ===?

Question

As Which equals operator (== vs ===) should be used in JavaScript comparisons? indicates they are basically identical except \'===\' also ensures type equality

Answer 1

Consider a situation when you compare numbers or strings:

if (4 === 4)
{
  // true
}

but

if (4 == "4")
{
  // true
}

and

if (4 === "4")
{
  // false
}

This applies to objects as well as arrays.

So in above cases, you have to make sensible choice whether to use == or ===
