title: Use the Triple Equals to Assert Strict Equality
challengeType: 2
forumTopicId: 301610
---
## Description
As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Repl.it, or cloned from GitHub.
strictEqual()
compares objects using ===
.
## Instructions
Use assert.strictEqual()
or assert.notStrictEqual()
to make the tests pass.
## Tests
```yml
tests:
- text: All tests should pass.
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => {assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
- text: You should choose the right assertion - strictEqual vs. notStrictEqual.
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'notStrictEqual', 'with strictEqual the type must match'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
- text: You should choose the right assertion - strictEqual vs. notStrictEqual.
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'strictEqual', '3*2 = 6...'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
- text: You should choose the right assertion - strictEqual vs. notStrictEqual.
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[2].method, 'strictEqual', '6 * \'2\' is 12. Types match !'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
- text: You should choose the right assertion - strictEqual vs. notStrictEqual.
testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[3].method, 'notStrictEqual', 'Even if they have the same elements, the Arrays are notStrictEqual'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
```
