24,828 PointsThe difference between === and == is that === checks for the value and type while == checks for the value only.
Example,
const a = 1;
const b = 1;
console.log(a === b); // true
console.log(a == b); // true
const c = 1;
const d = '1';
// Here you are checking for both the value, which both are equal to 1,
// but you are also checking for the data type, which both have different data types.
// c is an integer while d is a string
console.log(c === d); // false
// Here you are only checking for the value, which both are equal to 1
console.log(c == d); // true
