JavaScript

The choices you make about how to write your program matter -- not only to
you, but to your other team members and even to your future self.

Coercion

Coercion a.k.a. “type casting” to other languages.

Types of coercion:

• Explicit
• Implicit

If loosely comparing (==) two literals, JavaScript will coerce the left-side of the expression before comparing it to the right-side of the expression.
