Triple equals vs. double equals equality operator

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
Hello,

I think the triple equals equality operator should be allowed here.

Your code so far


// Setup
function testEqual(val) {
if (val === 12) { // Change this line
  return "Equal";
}
return "Not Equal";
}

// Change this value to test
testEqual(12);

Since === is used to compare two values with their types so you can’t use === in this challenge because 12 and "12" both values should return equals.

how would this be satisfied if you used ===?

testEqual("12") should return “Equal”

the point of the challenge is to use ==
