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

== compares whether the value of the 2 sides are the same or not.

=== compares whether the value and datatype of the 2 sides are the same or not.

Say we have

$var = 0;

if($var == false){
  // true because 0 is also read as false
}

if(!$var){
  // true because 0 is also read as false
}

if($var === false){
  // false because 0 is not the same datatype as false. (int vs bool)
}

if($var !== false){
  // true becuase 0 is not the same datatype as false. (int vs bool)
}

if($var === 0){
  // true, the value and datatype are the same.
}
