Golf Code, quick question on Strictly Equals use

Tell us what’s happening:

Can someone explain to me why we use === instead of ==?

Your code so far


var names = ["Hole-in-one!", "Eagle", "Birdie", "Par", "Bogey", "Double Bogey", "Go Home!"];
function golfScore(par, strokes) {
  // Only change code below this line
  if (strokes === 1) {
    return "Hole-in-one!";
  } else if (strokes <= (par - 2)) {
    return "Eagle";
  } else if (strokes === par - 1) {
    return "Birdie";
  } else if (strokes === par) {
    return "Par";
  } else if (strokes === par + 1) {
    return "Bogey";
  } else if (strokes === par + 2) {
    return "Double Bogey";
  } else {
    return "Go Home!";
  }
  return "Change Me";
  // Only change code above this line
}

// Change these values to test
golfScore(5, 2);
