Question

Is there a reason as to why these statements evaluate to true?

0 == [0];
1 == [1];
5 == [5];
5000 == [5000];
1000000 == [1000000];

So basically any number equals itself wrapped in an array? What’s the logic behind this?

Answer 1

That’s because the non-strict equality operator coerces both its operands to strings in this case, and the string representation of an array is the elements it contains, delimited by commas:

>>> [1, 5].toString()
"1,5"

Since the arrays in your question only contain one element, their string representation is the same as their element’s:

>>> [5000].toString()
"5000"
