How to compare two regexps?

Question

Why do ``` console.log(/a/ == /a/); ``` and ``` var regexp1 = /a/; var regexp2 = /a/; console.log(regexp1 == regexp2); ``` both return `false`?

Accepted Answer

Try this:

```
String(regexp1) === String(regexp2))
```

You are getting false because those two are different objects.
