== Why is this an issue?

Comparisons of dissimilar types will always return `false`. The comparison and all its dependent code can simply be removed. This includes:

* comparing an object with `null`
* comparing an object with an unrelated primitive (e.g. a `String` with an `int`)
* comparing unrelated types

=== Noncompliant code example

[source,dart]
----
void f() {
  var a = "Hello, World!";
  if (a == 42) { // Noncompliant: comparing a String with an int
    print("BOOM!");
  }
}
