operator performs the same as the inequality operator except that data types are not converted.

operator, the definition of equal depends on the data types being compared, as illustrated in the
following list:
•
Numbers, strings, and Boolean values are compared by value.
•
Objects, arrays, and functions are compared by reference.
•
A variable is compared by value or by reference, depending on its type.

Example
The comments in the following code show the returned value of operations that use the equality
( ), strict equality (
==
var s1:String = "5";
var s2:String = "5";
var s3:String = "Hello";
var n:Number = 5;
var b:Boolean = true;
trace(s1 == s2); // true
trace(s1 == s3); // false
trace(s1 == n);
trace(s1 == b);
trace(s1 === s2); // true
trace(s1 === s3); // false
trace(s1 === n);
trace(s1 === b);
trace(s1 !== s2); // false
trace(s1 !== s3); // true
trace(s1 !== n);
trace(s1 !== b);
