aka Coerce, Coerces, Type-Coercion

  1. Truthy ↔ value considered true (in Boolean Context) via Coercion

  2. Falsy ↔ value considered false (in Boolean Context) via Coercion

  3. String Mode ↔ If one Operand is string, Coercion other to string, & return concatenated string

  4. Number Mode ↔ If no Operand is string, Coercion to number & return sum

  5. == ↔ loose Equality Operator, applies Coercion

  6. != ↔ loose INEquality Operator, applies Coercion

  7. isNaN() ↔ Instance Method returns boolean if Argument is NaN or not; applies Coercion

  8. Boolean Context ↔ whether Value Coerces to Truthy || Falsy

  9. Bitwise Assignment Operator ↔ JS Operator to Coerce Operand to 32-bit binary, compute math as bits & return as number
