why does wick use === for if statements and whats the difference from doing ==?
tbh, I never paid much attention to the difference between the two, I always prefer using “===” because it’s easier for me to remember to have 3 equal signs rather than 2
Therefore, my info is more likely incorrect
“==” only checks if two things are equal.
“===” checks the type of things and how they are equal.
For example, if you wanted to see if something is equal to “null” or “undefined,” or want to see if it’s equal to “true” or “false,” you would have to use “===”
If you wanted to compare something to a variable, text in quotes, number, etc., you can use “==” or “===”
If you compare something to “true” using “==,” it’ll check to see if that thing is literally equal to “true,” but if you use “===,” it will look deeper into what “true” is before stating if the if statement is false.
(I made some edits. Before the edit, I had the info hidden as an html comment using “<!-- -->”)
Ahhh thanks!
wick is programmed in javascript, and you also program wick games in javascript too because making a javascript interpreter in javascript is far more easier than any other programming languages, since javascript has the native ability to run javascript.
the difference between === and == is that when you compare using “===”, there are no type conversions but if you compare using “==” there are. so if you have 5 == "5" they return true but if you have 5 === "5", since they are not the same type (number vs. string) they will return false. If you have something like " \t\r\n" == 0 it will also return true for some reason. And so will [] == 0. === exists so you can be more strict and using it will decrease the chance of errors.
thanks that cleared it up for me!
example:
if (key === “up”)
