Why You Should Only Use === in JavaScript - Strict vs Loose Equality for Beginners

Ever wondered what the difference between == and === was? This video is going to cover that difference and show you why you should always be using ===

=== or the strict equality check operator checks both the value and data type of the two operands, while == or the loose equality check operator only checks the value using a common data type.

JavaScript developers will tell you to never use == because it can lead to a lot of false positives. The rule of thumb is to make your code more reliable and safe by always using ===

Thank you for the clear explanation. I'm struggling a bit grasping some concepts in JS, and the way you put these into words definitely makes it a tiny bit more understandable. New subscriber here :)
