got this in a battle and i was 100% sure its false. empty array equal to not of itself?? how
can someone explain step by step pls
![] gets evaluated first. arrays are truthy (even empty ones) so ![] = false.
now you have [] == false. with == both sides get converted to numbers:
false -> 0
[] -> "" -> 0
0 == 0 so true.
this is why everyone uses === , it doesn't do any of this conversion
and [] == [] is false btw because objects are compared by reference. js is fun
ohh the ! runs first. i was comparing [] with [] in my head. thanks
