isStrictEqual

Test if two arguments are strictly equal.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-strict-equal

Usage

var isStrictEqual = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-strict-equal' );

isStrictEqual( a, b )

Tests if two arguments a and b are strictly equal.

var bool = isStrictEqual( false, false );
// returns true

bool = isStrictEqual( '', '' );
// returns true

bool = isStrictEqual( {}, {} );
// returns false

bool = isStrictEqual( NaN, NaN );
// returns false

In contrast to the strict equality operator ===, the function distinguishes between +0 and -0.

var bool = ( 0.0 === -0.0 );
// returns true

bool = isStrictEqual( 0.0, -0.0 );
// returns false

bool = isStrictEqual( -0.0, -0.0 );
// returns true

Examples

var isStrictEqual = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-strict-equal' );

var bool = isStrictEqual( true, true );
// returns true

bool = isStrictEqual( true, false );
// returns false

bool = isStrictEqual( 'beep', 'beep' );
// returns true

bool = isStrictEqual( 3.14, 3.14 );
// returns true

bool = isStrictEqual( null, null );
// returns true

bool = isStrictEqual( 0.0, 0.0 );
// returns true

bool = isStrictEqual( -0.0, 0.0 );
// returns false

bool = isStrictEqual( NaN, NaN );
// returns false

bool = isStrictEqual( {}, {} );
// returns false

bool = isStrictEqual( [], [] );
// returns false

bool = isStrictEqual( isStrictEqual, isStrictEqual );
// returns true
