Package Exports

@stdlib/assert-is-same-value

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/assert-is-same-value) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

isSameValue

Test if two arguments are the same value.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-same-value

Usage

var isSameValue = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-same-value' );

isSameValue( a, b )

Tests if two arguments a and b are the same value.

var bool = isSameValue( false, false );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( '', '' );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( {}, {} );
// returns false

In contrast to the strict equality operator ===, the function distinguishes between +0 and -0 and treats NaNs as the same value.

var bool = ( 0.0 === -0.0 );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( 0.0, -0.0 );
// returns false

bool = isSameValue( -0.0, -0.0 );
// returns true

bool = ( NaN === NaN );
// returns false

bool = isSameValue( NaN, NaN );
// returns true

Notes

The function implements the SameValue Algorithm as specified in ECMAScript 5.

Examples

var isSameValue = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-same-value' );

var bool = isSameValue( true, true );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( true, false );
// returns false

bool = isSameValue( 'beep', 'beep' );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( 3.14, 3.14 );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( null, null );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( 0.0, 0.0 );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( -0.0, 0.0 );
// returns false

bool = isSameValue( NaN, NaN );
// returns true

bool = isSameValue( {}, {} );
// returns false

bool = isSameValue( [], [] );
// returns false

bool = isSameValue( isSameValue, isSameValue );
// returns true

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
