No Doubt Javascript

JavaScript's type coercion strikes again with its legendary logic. Using the strict equality operator (===), octal 017 doesn't equal decimal 17 because JavaScript interprets that leading zero as "hey, this is octal!" (which is 15 in decimal). But 018? That's not a valid octal number, so JS just shrugs and treats it as decimal 18. Then comes the double equals (==) where JavaScript becomes the chaos agent we all know and love. It converts the string to a number and suddenly everything makes sense... in the most JavaScript way possible. The language where "wat" is a valid reaction and type coercion is both your best friend and worst enemy. This is why we have trust issues.
