-    If you compare an integer with a string, excluding the identical (===) and
-    not identical (!==) operators, the string is
-    <link linkend="language.types.string.conversion">converted to a number</link>.
-    If you compare two numerical strings, they are compared as integers. These
-    rules also apply to the
-    <link linkend="control-structures.switch">switch</link> statement.
+    If you compare a number with a string or the comparison involves numerical
+    strings,then each string is
+    <link linkend="language.types.string.conversion">converted to a number</link>
+    and the comparison performed numerically. These rules also apply to the
+    <link linkend="control-structures.switch">switch</link> statement. The
+    type conversion does not take place when the comparison is === or !== as
+    this involves comparing the type as well as the value.
