5. 8. 2. Type-conversion adheres to the following rules

true is converted to the number 1 before being compared.

false is converted to 0 before being compared.

If either of the operands are NaN, the equality operator returns false.

null and undefined are equal.

null and undefined are not equal to 0 (zero), "" , or false.

If a string and a number are compared, attempt to convert the string to a number and then check for equality.

If an object and a string are compared, attempt to convert the object to a string and then check for equality.

If an object and a number are compared, attempt to convert the object to a number and then check for equality.

If both operands of an equality operation are objects, the addresses of the two objects are checked for equality.
