Truthy and falsy values in JavaScript #vscode

[bobthemagicmoose]

Was curious about edge cases and it turns out there's a great one! `Document.all` is an object but when evaluated as a boolean it is falsey! This was due to a common practice for checking if a browser was IE (which used that nonstandard method and later, other browsers adopted it and it was kinda standardized).

No confusion at all. For instance "false" is definitely different from false.. 😅😅

Summary: avoid if statements.

Apparently the can create confusion.
