should we use == or === in the suitescripts?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In SuiteScript, it is generally recommended to use
===
instead of
==
to avoid coercion. The
===
operator checks both the value and the type of the operands, providing a strict equality comparison. On the other hand,
==
checks only the value and not the type, which can lead to unexpected results due to type coercion. However, there might be cases where
==
is the right choice, especially when you don't care about type conversion. For example, in a situation where
'view'
is actually an object,
type == 'view'
would be better. But as a best practice, unless you have a compelling reason, it's advisable to use
===
to avoid potential issues related to type coercion. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
