Do you think these assertions will throw errors?

const a = {relation: 'twin', age: '17'};
const b = {relation: 'twin', age: '17'};
assert.equal(a, b);
assert.strictEqual(a, b);

Both assertions will throw an error because distinct objects are not considered equal when using either loose or strict equality in JavaScript.

If you need to compare the values within two objects, you can use assert.deepEqual(). This method compares the values of each object using loose (==) equality.

The following code will not throw an error…

assert.deepEqual(a, b);

…and you can confirm by manually comparing the relation and age properties of each object.

a.relation == b.relation;
a.age == b.age;
