EPISODE 2 – == vs ===

This video explains the difference between == and === in JavaScript and why using the correct comparison operator can save hours of debugging.

The == operator performs type coercion, which means it tries to convert values before comparing them. This can lead to unexpected results like 0 == '0' or 0 == false evaluating to true.
On the other hand, === performs a strict comparison by checking both value and type, making your logic more predictable and easier to maintain.

This video breaks down:

• How == works internally with type conversion
• Why === is considered a best practice in most real-world applications
• When it is actually safe to use ==
• How small comparison mistakes lead to big bugs

A simple concept, but one that plays a critical role in writing clean, reliable JavaScript code.
