Avoiding JavaScript Type Conversion Issues - How Type Coercion Works

In JavaScript, like generally in programming, you work with data - with values. And these values have different types. JavaScript requires certain types for certain operations and also freely converts between types. This can lead to unexpected behaviours - so here's how JavaScript type coercion works (and what it is).

Correction at 8:42: Objects are not primitve types but reference types. I'm sure it was a fluff :-) Thanks Max!

This video is just awesome about JavaScript coercion, haven't seen such a detailed and easy to learn video about this topic.

[dDeV]

Man this is the best video I've seen which clearly explains coercion.

12:38 – thats absolutely valid js expression

Hi Max! Great video! Love your courses! At 8:43 you are saying that objects are primitive types. Sorry for the correction, I know it was just a tiny confusion.

Hey bro ... Thank you for such awesome content.
But i have one doubt . Can you please help me in that

I wanted to know the reason that why { } + [ ] is not equal to [ ] + { } in javascript.

[ProgramWithBalaji]

When can we expect your Algorithm course?

[sachin-viwh]

Please can you explain why undefined == null is true

[Alex-xwbc]

Can you make a video about vue native? I haven't really seen anyone talk about it

[nerdophile]

Great Video, now I can bully my juniors !!

[ooo]

Flutter or React native

[Microphunktv-jbkj]

Why the {} + [] = 0 and [] + {} = "[object Object]"?

[codito]

Really nice job. I would like to answer you a couple of things. I created a professional website for my sister's husband with react js and the only thing that i have for back-end is the contact form which has been created with node-nodemailer. Can i host both front-end and back end somewhere and what do you suggest? Also how to make seo in react?

Javascript looks dumber to me by the minute...
Can someone tell me where the benefits lie in this mess? (for devs)
