why java is not supporting tripple equals

Question

This is my code.but my question why java is not supporting this operator where is other langauge is supporting like php,javascript.

int a=1;
float b=1;

if(a===b)
    out.println("true");
else
    out.println("false");

You might want to ask why JavaScript needs `===` instead (most other languages don't). — Tim Pietzcker, Mar 23 '13 at 13:32
[JavaScript supports this](http://stackoverflow.com/q/359494/1065197) but Java **is not** JavaScript. — Luiggi Mendoza, Mar 23 '13 at 13:33

PHP and JavaScript allow to check the type of a variable by using this operator. This isn't necessary in Java, because its typing is static.

The === operator performs a deep comparison and checks for type equality also. The equivalent in java is to override equals() and hashCode() to provide a contract that performs a deep equals() check. Java does not need a '==='.
