Courses Plus Student 5,859 PointsI'm not sure if it's the same but in JavaScript there is == and ===
The == does type coercion which say if you compared "25" == 25 it will return true even though they are different types
But if you do "25" === 25 it will return false because there is no type coercion.
It is best to stick with === so you don't get unexpected results

Courses Plus Student 18,036 PointsIn other words, (further explaining what Colton said) at least in JS,
== means "equal to" whereas
=== means "strictly equal to"
so you can be aware of how each of them works and how you want to use them depending on what you want your program to do.
