Conditionally Comparing Strings

1.3.conditionally_comparing_strings.js

// Use the equality operator (==) within a conditional test:

var strName = prompt("What's your name?", "");

if (strName.toUpperCase () == "SHELLEY") {   // case sensitive operator!
  alert("Your name is Shelley! Good for you!");
}else{
  alert("Your name isn't Shelley. Bummer.");
}

// the (==) operator does automatic type conversion while the strict equality operator (===) doesn't.
// stringObject == stringLiteral with same string value will yield true while
// stringObject === stringLiteral will yield false
