Comparing dissimilar types using the strict equality operators `+===+` and `+!==+` will always return the same value, respectively `+false+` and `+true+`, because no type conversion is done before the comparison. Thus, such comparisons can only be bugs. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- var a = 8; var b = "8"; if (a === b) { // Noncompliant; always false // ... } ---- == Compliant Solution ---- var a = 8; var b = "8"; if (a == b) { // ... } ---- or ---- var a = 8; var b = "8"; if (a === Number(b)) { // ... } ----
