Two numbers are strictly equal when they are numerically equal (have the same number value). NaN is not equal to anything, including NaN. Positive and negative zeros are equal to one another. Two Boolean operands are strictly equal if both are true or both are false. Two objects are strictly equal if they refer to the same Object. Null and Undefined types are == (but not ===).
