for those who are still confused in =,==,=== operaters

=(equal) is used for assigning a value to variable,  == operator will compare for equality after doing any necessary type conversions. The === operator will not do the conversion, so if two values are not the same type === will simply return false. It's this case where === will be faster, and may return a different result than ==. In all other cases performance will be the same. Example: 20 == '20' , will return TRUE 20 === '20' , will return FALSE

= for assigning a value to a variable like var age = 20; == for comparing two variables whether they are of equal type === for comparing two variables whether they are strictly equal sample code: var age1= 20; //age1 is just a variable not object var age2 = new number(20); /* age2 is an object here as we used number constructor function using the keyword new */ alert(age1 == age2); // true alert(age1 === age2); //false hope this helps you

example for == var a = "42"; // string var b = 42; // number if(a == b) // true in case of == the comparison is made between two values after the necessary conversion of values of either side from one data type to another. like in the above example ist a is converted into NUMBER from STRING data type and then the comparison occurs and result is true. but if we have used ===. operator then the result would have been false because this operator won't let convert the values of either side their data type. if(a===b) // false

== used to compare values, === used to compare both value and datatype

@Codde Ded because age2 is an object whereas age1 is a number

`=` Assign value. `==` Check if the same value. `===` Check if the same value and data type.

@Kandula Samantha, but why is this so? I would assume age1 and age2 are of the same value types: integers. why would '===' then evaluate to 'false'? what is the javascript engine comparing here: values against values, or values against value types?
