title: Comparison with the Strict Equality Operator

dashedName: comparison-with-the-strict-equality-operator

# --description--
Strict equality (`===`) is the counterpart to the equality operator (`==`). However, unlike the equality operator, which attempts to convert both values being compared to a common type, the strict equality operator does not perform a type conversion.
If the values being compared have different types, they are considered unequal, and the strict equality operator will return false.
**Examples**
```js
3 === 3 // true
3 === '3' // false
```
In the second example, `3` is a `Number` type and `'3'` is a `String` type.
# --instructions--
Use the strict equality operator in the `if` statement so the function will return the string `Equal` when `val` is strictly equal to `7`.
# --hints--
`testStrict(10)` should return the string `Not Equal`
```js
assert(testStrict(10) === 'Not Equal');
```
`testStrict(7)` should return the string `Equal`
```js
assert(testStrict(7) === 'Equal');
```
`testStrict("7")` should return the string `Not Equal`
```js
assert(testStrict('7') === 'Not Equal');
```
You should use the `===` operator
```js
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/(val\s*===\s*\d+)|(\d+\s*===\s*val)/g).length > 0);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
// Setup
function testStrict(val) {
if (val) { // Change this line
return "Equal";
}
return "Not Equal";
}
testStrict(10);
```
# --solutions--
```js
function testStrict(val) {
if (val === 7) {
return "Equal";
}
return "Not Equal";
}
```
