difference between == and === in JavaScript

In this post, I am going to share the very interesting double equals "==" and triple equals "===". It is very confusing topic and most of the time peoples are confused.

 The details example as given below.

The double equals (==) are used for check only value of its variables but triple equals (===) are used for check value and type as well of its variables.

1.  The double equal “==” is an auto-type conversion and it checks only value not type.

2.  The triple equal “===” is not auto-type conversion and it check value and type both.

 For example,
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <title>Difference between == and === in JavaScript</title>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.0.0/jquery.js"></script>
  <script>
    // alert(0 == false); // return true, because both are same type.
    // alert(0 === false); // return false, because both are of a different type.
    // alert(1 == "1"); // return true, automatic type conversion for value only.
    // alert(1 === "1"); // return false, because both are of a different type.
    // alert(null == undefined); // return true.
    // alert(null === undefined); // return false.
    //alert('0' == false); // return true.
    // alert('0' === false); // return false.
    // alert(1=== parseInt("1")); // return true.


    console.log(0 == false); // return true, because both are same type.
    console.log(0 === false); // return false, because both are of a different type.
    console.log(1 == "1"); // return true, automatic type conversion for value only.
    console.log(1 === "1"); // return false, because both are of a different type.
    console.log(null == undefined); // return true.
    console.log(null === undefined); // return false.
    console.log('0' == false); // return true.
    console.log('0' === false); // return false.
    console.log(1 === parseInt("1")); // return true.
  </script>
</head>

<body>

nullinjectorerror no provider for httpclient angular 17

Why doesn't App Module exist in Angular 17?

Today, I just started exploring Angular version 17 using ng new and found a problem for the newly created project using the command - ng new. The problem is: Path "/src/app/app.module.ts" does not exist while doing ng add in the Angular project. The ‘ng new’ does not generate app.module.ts in the src root folder Angular CLI 17.0.0. From Angular 17 onwards, standalone is now the new default for the CLI . So when we create a new project ‘ app.module.ts ’ file will not create Path " /src/app/app.module.ts ". Run the following command to create the new project including the file ‘app.module.ts’ in your project: ng new AngularMap  --no-standalone Note: Here ‘AngularMap’ is the project name I created. Standalone components are a feature introduced in Angular version 14. Now the changes applied in angular 17 default, the Angular team strongly recommends using them as they are easier to use, and understand.
