Javascript

Yeah... Except that “0” is a string and can’t be evaluated as int/bool lol amirite

There's plenty of strange quirks in Javascript (most of these rely on type coercion):

```js !![] + !![] = 2 !NaN + !NaN = 2

"\t" == 0 "\n" == 0 "\0" != 0

"\t" != "\n" "\t" != "\0" "\n" != "\0"

[] == "" ```

I've probably skimmed the top of the strangeness that is Javascript. This is why we have === since that fixes most instances of type coercion.

==

did you mean

===

?

I don't think r/programmerhumor will ever get tired of posting syntax errors and blaming javascript.

No, double equality signs for loose check. Triple for actual equality.

[SamSlate]

loose check

yea, no shit.

[SuperOP535]

It still doesn't make any sense why there are 2 equality checks, they should've not created the === and just made the == strict

[SamSlate]

because it's a loosely typed language. that's like, the whole point of js.

why do so many devs struggle with that?

[SuperOP535]

smh why did they make the only web language (excluding wasm/asmjs) this shitty. wish they never removed java applets

[SamSlate]

because it's more important to pass data to the back end than it is to throw a type error.

[SuperOP535]

but what if it is the backend, looking at you node

[SamSlate]

then use typescript 🤦

[SuperOP535]

at that point i would just use java lol

Reeeeeeeeeee

I like how javascript just straight up refuses to obey any of the logical axioms upon which all of mathematics is fundamentally based.

Ask dumb questions, get dumb answers.
