EQUAL OPERATOR TRUTH TABLE IN JAVASCRIPT
** STRANGE: note that any two values on the first column are not equal in that sense.**
'' == 0 == false // Any two values among these 3 ones are equal with the == operator
'0' == 0 == false // Also a set of 3 equal values, note that only 0 and false are repeated
'\t' == 0 == false // -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
'\r' == 0 == false // -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
'\n' == 0 == false // -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
'\t\r\n' == 0 == false // -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
null == undefined // These two "default" values are not-equal to any of the listed values above
NaN // NaN is not equal to any thing, even to itself.
