In this tutorial I’m going to learn what are the difference between double == equal operator and triple equal operator === this tutorial will help you what are the exactly difference between them.

The == operator and === operator in Laravel are both used to compare two values. However, there is a subtle difference between the two operators.

The == operator checks if the two values are equal, regardless of their data types. For example, the following code will return true:

PHP

$a = 1;
$b = '1';

echo $a == $b; // true

Use code with caution. Learn morecontent_copy

This is because the == operator will automatically convert the string '1' to the integer 1 before comparing the two values.

The === operator, on the other hand, checks if the two values are equal and have the same data type. For example, the following code will return false:

PHP

$a = 1;
$b = '1';

echo $a === $b; // false

Use code with caution. Learn morecontent_copy

This is because the === operator will not automatically convert the string '1' to the integer 1. Instead, it will compare the two values as strings, and the strings are not equal.

In general, you should use the === operator when you need to be sure that the two values are equal and have the same data type. The == operator can be used when you are not concerned about the data types of the values.

Here is a table summarizing the differences between the == and === operators:
