isSameType

Test if two arguments have the same type.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-is-same-type

Usage

var isSameType = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-same-type' );

isSameType( a, b )

Tests if two arguments a and b have the same type.

var bool = isSameType( false, true );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( 'beep', 'boop' );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( 0.0, '0.0' );
// returns false

Notes

The function uses the typeof operator to determine the type of each argument.
The function returns true if the types are the same and false otherwise.

var isSameType = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-same-type' );

var bool = isSameType( true, false );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( 3.14, -3.14 );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( {}, [] );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( null, null );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( NaN, NaN );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( null, NaN );
// returns false

bool = isSameType( 0.0, '0.0' );
