The _.eq() method compares the arguments with loose equality (==).
_.eq( val1, val2,..., valn );
Parameters: This method takes n values to operate on them.
Return Value: This method returns a boolean (true if arguments are equal else false).
Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the underscore.js contrib library to be installed.
underscore.js contrib library can be installed using npm install underscore-contrib –save.
Example 1:
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); var equal = _.eq( 1, "1" ); console.log( "The Given values are equal :" ,equal); |
Output:
The Given values are equal : true
Example 2:
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); var equal = _.eq( "Geeks" , "Geeks" ); console.log( "The Given values are equal :" ,equal); |
Output:
The Given values are equal : true
Example 3: A valid value returns true hence on comparing with true boolean, the comparison returns true.
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); var equal = _.eq( 1, true ); console.log( "The Given values are equal :" ,equal); |
Output:
The Given values are equal : true
Example 4: A valid value returns true hence on comparing with false boolean, the comparison returns false.
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); var equal = _.eq( 1, false ); console.log( "The Given values are equal :" ,equal); |
Output:
The Given values are equal : false
