== Equals>If the two operands are not of the same type, JavaScript converts the operands then applies strict comparison.

=== Strict equal

Returns true if the operands are strictly equal  with no type conversion.

typeof

The  typeof operator returns a string indicating the type of the unevaluated operand.

typeof undefined === ’undefined’

undefined

A variable that has not been assigned a value is of type undefined.

false

Examples of expressions that can be converted to false are those that evaluate to null, 0, the empty string (“”), or undefined.

null

null is an object. It’s type is null. Null and Undefined types are  == (but not  ===)

Undeclared variable

/ var z*/

*z.x  // throws a ReferenceError

Check for undefined variable

*var x;

*if (x === undefined) {

*   // these statements execute

*}

*else {

*   // these statements do not execute

*} check for undeclared variable

*// x has not been defined before

*if (typeof x === ’undefined’) { // evaluates to true without errors

*   // these statements execute

*}

*

*if(x === undefined){ // throws a ReferenceError

*

*} check for object property

*var myobj = {‘a’:’a’};

*myobj.hasOwnProperty(‘a’) // true

*var myobj2 = Object.create(myobj);

*myobj2.hasOwnProperty(‘a’) //false

*‘a’ in myobj2 // true check for null

*var c = null

*if (c === null) { // true
