Because an integer type doesn't equal a string/character type.

Slick but in the code it's "==" not "===" which I am still confused about because "==" compares the value regardless of the data type tho while "===" compares the value and the data type. I'm confused as well on why 1 == '1' is false. or does Ruby do not have the "===" operator. UPDATE:- I was thinking of Javascript that is why. Sorry about that.

MrDevEzeoke All i know is when i switched '1' to 1 the output is True. Logically, that's the answer. Not sure about ruby equal signs, but they seem to follow the same rules as other languages. I could be wrong!

Where's the logic in the second sentence? 1 is definatley 1. But that don't mean 1 == '1'. Looking it up, all it says is that == is equal to, doesnt say anything about different data types. === is case equality and will check equality in whatever a "case" is. I still think it's the different data types

1 == '1' is false because 1 is int type and something which is written inside double or single quotes is called string . https://code.sololearn.com/cQ8Ak6rLvF9N/?ref=app

1 is 1 That mean's 1 == '1' The question is "Why does this code, the result is false..."

Because any number which is not surrounded in quotes are numbers ex----->5 is a number and anything that is surrounded by quotes are characters ex------>'6' and "6" is a character That's why your Program: puts 1=='1'---->give false ; puts 1==1------->give true; Because both are same data types I think you have understood properly my friend Jeff's : )

Jeff's JK (HTML challenger and the coders 💻)🇮🇩 So overall, it's False because they are different data types.
