				Just never use the equality operator, remember, that all numbers are floats and that the most mathematical implementation of min and max is to have an initial value of -/+ infinity.
 We can agree on that most of the implicit type conversations should be errors instead.
 
 JavaScript with all it's flaws is still a quite good language for the occasional client side scripting.

				Most of these (highly reposted) things are just a deliberate use of valid mechanics to get weird results.
 
 The only one I find funny is typeof NaN. It makes sense, but still kinda gets me.

				 theuser46586y@AlgoRythm and it doesn't get better if you don't know how the type coercion system works. The statement (! + [] + [] + ![]) simply equals the string "truefalse" and whaddaya know, the length is 9. theuser46586y@AlgoRythm and it doesn't get better if you don't know how the type coercion system works.

				 C0D4644186yNow for all the ones you are -using-... I mean abusing type coercion for, show me a valid use case that you are dumb enough to implement these with.

 I'm waiting for the day someone actually uses "(!+[]+[]+[])" and expects a valid response.
 
 Just because a language "can" do something, doesn't mean you as the dev "should" do it.
 
 I mean, in simpler terms....
 I "can" drive a car off a cliff into a valley of ass raping gorilla's, doesn't mean I "should"... unless you're into that that?, stop blaming the car.
