Wrong assertion for -0

[Gopikrishna19]

the following code fails:

const a = 0;

expect(-a).equals(0);

while doing a shallow equals passes:

const a = 0;

expect(-a).shallow.equals(0);

Is this an intended feature? shouldn't '-0' be equal to '0', since javascript tells that 0 === -0 is true? Please let me know. Thanks

I also noticed that this feature is not reflected for a +0:

const a = 0;

expect(+a).shallow.equals(0); //passes
expect(+a).equals(0); //passes

Thanks for reporting this.

Shallow comparison passes because it uses a strict JavaScript comparison. Deep equal outsources the comparison to Hoek. It looks like this issue probably comes from this line. Please open this issue there.
