Infos

The equalChecker() function takes 4 arguments:

• Value 1
• Value 2
• Boolean for type checking (optional - default = false)
• Boolean for error messages (optional - default = false)

If third argument (typeCheck) is set to true:

• will compare values AND data type.

If fourth argument (errMsg) is set to true & the check returns false:

• will, instead of returning only a boolean, return an Array.
• the array will contain 0 the false boolean and 1 an error message explaining the difference.
