All of us use "==" daily for performing the comparison in JavaScript to execute particular code block only when certain condition meets.
But do ...

You should read up on JavaScript equality - it's a very important concept. Much of what you said here is correct but you didn't even touch on the
===operator which is usually more acceptable to use than the flawed==operator.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
Yup, the main idea was to explain the working of "==" and the reason why we should avoid boolean value comparison with "==".
You should avoid all sort of comparisons using '=='
In some cases '==' is very useful. Like when we have to compare value (String)"10" with value 10(Integer).By using "==" in this case, we don't have to perform any explicit conversion.
No, do the explicit conversion, then compare strictly. Otherwise you are leaving yourself open to bugs that will be hard to detect. There's literally no case where == is desirable.
Thanks for making the point. :-)
For unequal types, "==" operator would first coerce the values to Number types
Inputs :
A =10, is number type,
B =true, is boolean type
Code: Which block will run?
if(A == true) {
console.log("if block")
} else {
console.log("else block")
}
Reasoning :
For unequal types, "==" operator would first coerce the values to Number types
"==" would do this coercion A === ToNumber(B)
ToNumber(B) ie ToNumber(true) results in 1
10 === 1 ?
Answer is : "else block" will be printed on console

I don't get how people code with Javascript. It's the most dangerous language I've ever seen.
