Predict the output of the following javascript code

console.log(false == '0');

 

 

 

 

In JavaScript, when you use the loose equality operator (==), it performs type coercion if the operands are of different types. Type coercion means converting the operands to a common type before comparison.

In this expression, false is a boolean value, and '0' is a string.

During the comparison, JavaScript coerces the operands to a common type. In this case, it converts the boolean value false to a number, which becomes 0. Then it compares 0 (from false) with the string '0'.

After coercion, both sides are 0, so the comparison becomes 0 == '0'.

Now, JavaScript further coerces the string '0' to a number because one operand is a number. So, '0' is converted to 0.

After coercion, the comparison becomes 0 == 0.

Since both sides are now of the same type (number) and have the same value (0), the comparison evaluates to true.

Therefore, the output of the given code will be:

true
