Prototyping

This gist is part of a collection of gists that extend JavaScript data prototypes such as Boolean, Number, String, Array and Object. See below for links to all the gists:

• Boolean
• Number
• String
• Array
• Object

Note: A loose rather than strict equality check is necessary for the true/false methods to work.
