Difference between == and === in JavaScript
Hello everyone! I recently started learning JavaScript and Node.js, and I encountered a misunderstanding of the difference between the == and === operators. They both seem to be used for comparison, but the results sometimes differ.
Here's a simple example that confused me:
console.log(5 == '5'); // true\nconsole.log(5 === '5'); // false\n\nconsole.log(null == undefined); // true\nconsole.log(null === undefined); // false\n\nconsole.log(false == 0); // true\nconsole.log(false === 0); // falseI understand that === is a strict operator, and == is a loose operator, but I don't fully grasp how this works in practice. I tried reading the documentation on MDN, but I would like to hear an explanation from experienced developers.
I expect to get clarification:
