Answer 2

python

Answer 3

In js there's the "===" that checks the equality in the value and in the data type but if you try 2.0==2 in js it'll still be true

Answer 4

As for why 2.0 == 2, it's because 2.0 and 2 represent the same number. Python doesn't require that two objects have the same type for them to be considered equal.

Answer 5

It`s basic...
The == operator compares the value (or equality) of two objects; See at this point python is comparing if 2.0 is numerically equals to 2;

But the Python *is* operator checks whether two variables point to the same object in memory. So 2.0 has its own location and proper type (float), and 2 will be in another memory location (and proper type: int). Thus they don`t share the same object in memory!

Have fun!

Answer 6

a = 2
b = 2.0
c = 2

#just comparing the result that equal or not.
print(a==b)
# here you can see the type of a and b is different.
print(type(a))
print(type(b))
