 // Here's a test on referential equality in Javascript.

 1. {} === {} // false

 const a = {}
 2. a === a // true

 /* So why does 1 evaluate to false but 2 evaluates to true?

 The answer has to do with how Javascript creates and stores items in memory. 

 In #1 you are comparing an object with an object ... however, you have created 2 seperate Objects at once
 These 2 objects are composed of the same details but are distinctly different and occupy different spots in memory.

 In # 2 you are creating both variable 'a', a new Object {}, and storing a reference to that new Object in variable 'a'.

 Thus when you compare a with a ... it evaluates to true becuase it is the same object.
 Whereas #1 is false because it is evaluating 2 separate objects.
