No, '===' means identical. "1" and 1 aren't identical because "1" is a string and 1 is a integer. Using '==' would return true.

No it would return false.
The reason for this is because === is an equality check without coercion therefore the types are not converted. This means, effectively what you are comparing is a String to an Number which obviously aren't the same thing.
See Does it matter which equals operator (== vs ===) I use in JavaScript comparisons? for more info on the use of == vs ===.

String "1" is not === to integer 1, so you're evaluating assert(false) which returns fail.
("1"===1) = false
assert(false) => fail
