[V3] Implement new Concept Exercise: equality

This issue describes how to implement the equality concept exercise for the JavaScript track.

Getting started

Please please please read the docs before starting. Posting PRs without reading these docs will be a lot more frustrating for you during the review cycle, and exhaust Exercism’s maintainers’ time. So, before diving into the implementation, please read up on the following documents:

• The features of v3.
• Rationale for v3.
• What are concept exercise and how they are structured?

Please also watch the following video:

• The Anatomy of a Concept Exercise.

Goal

This exercise aims to teach students how to compare values for equality.

Learning objectives

• Know how to use the abstract equality operator (“double equals”)
• Know how to use the strict equality operator (“triple equals”)
• Know how to use Object.is()
• Understand the difference in how primitives are handled by each of the value-comparison operations

Out of scope

• SameValueZero
• Deep object comparison

Concepts

• equality

Prerequisites

• strings
• numbers
• booleans
• objects
• type-conversion

After

• SameValueZero
• Which equality algorithm is used by common built-in methods like Array.indexOf and Array.includes
• When to use Object.is() over strict equality comparison

Help

If you have any questions while implementing the exercise, please post the questions as comments in this issue.

Yeah I will make sure that it will be clear and concise but you might need to take care of the stories 😅

We decided to combine the concept “comparison” (which includes equality) and “conditionals” into one exercise and that exercise was already done (https://github.com/exercism/javascript/pull/1037). So I am closing this issue.

@shubhsk88 Sorry nobody got back to you earlier. If you still want to help out with V3, have a look at the more recent open issues. There are some nice smaller ones like https://github.com/exercism/javascript/issues/1019 or if you can manage something bigger maybe https://github.com/exercism/javascript/issues/1049 would suit you.
