The equivalent long hand expression will be if (myValue === true)
if (myValue === true)
Wouldn't the equivalent longhand expression be if (myValue == true)? Your example will return false unless myValue is a boolean.
if (myValue == true)
myValue
Other than that, all those are great features of JavaScript.
Came to the comments to say this 😃
I assumed that it's a boolean. I was just trying to explain the truthy expressions. I'll put appropriate comments. Thanks for the feedback.
Oh, gotcha! I assumed you were checking that it was a truthy value.
Yea I agree, that part is very misleading... its equiv to if (Boolean(myValue)) {...}
if (Boolean(myValue)) {...}
Yeah, you are right. I'll change it right away. Thanks, patrik, Blake
