Jasmine JavaScript Testing - toBe vs toEqual

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

Let's say I have the following:

var myNumber = 5;
expect(myNumber).toBe(5);
expect(myNumber).toEqual(5);

Both of the above tests will pass. Is there a difference between toBe() and toEqual() when it comes to evaluating numbers? If so, when I should use one and not the other?
