Truthy & Falsy Values

The result of [] == false is true in JavaScript. This is due to the complex coercion rules of the loose equality operator (==). When comparing an object (arrays are objects in JavaScript) with a boolean, both operands are converted to numbers: the empty array is first converted to an empty string (''), which is then converted to 0, and false is converted to 0. Since 0 == 0 is true, the result is true. This behavior highlights why the loose equality operator can lead to confusing results and why many developers prefer the strict equality operator (===), which would return false for [] === false because the types are different.
