Strict string comparison

What should you do if there are two values of different types, and you do not want to rely on the default cast? Use can cast “by hand”.

For example, you can cast a numeric value to a string type. One way is to use the number.toString() command. For example:

var number = 1;

// Logs number: 1 (number)
console.log(number);

// Logs string: "1" (string)
console.log(number.toString());

JavaScript

var string = '123'; var number = 123; if (string == number) { console.log('The comparison is working!'); } else { console.log('I cannot compare'); }

Let’s give the second value to the string type.

Replace == with === in the condition. The cast will stop working and the condition will not be met.
Replace number in the condition with number.toString(). The condition should start working.
