2054+ ## Non-strict comparison of a number to ` true `
2055+
2056+ ``` js
2057+ 1 == true // -> true
2058+ // but…
2059+ Boolean (1.1 ) // -> true
2060+ 1.1 == true // -> false
2061+ ```
2062+
2063+ ### 💡 Explanation:
2064+
2065+ According to the specification:
2066+
2067+ > The comparison x == y, where x and y are values, produces true or false. Such a comparison is performed as follows:
2068+ >
2069+ > 4 . If ` Type(x) ` is Number and ` Type(y) ` is String, return the result of the comparison ` x == ! ToNumber(y) ` .
2070+
2071+ So this comparison is performed like this:
2072+
2073+ ``` js
2074+ 1 == true
2075+ 1 == Number (true )
2076+ 1 == 1 // -> true
2077+ // but…
2078+ 1.1 == true
2079+ 1.1 == Number (true )
2080+ 1.1 == 1 // -> false
2081+ ```
