# isSameType

> Test if two arguments have the same type.

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var isSameType = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-same-type' );
```

#### isSameType( a, b )

Tests if two arguments `a` and `b` have the same type.

```javascript
var bool = isSameType( false, true );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( 'beep', 'boop' );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( 0.0, '0.0' );
// returns false
```

</section>

<!-- /.usage -->

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   The function uses the `typeof` operator to determine the type of each argument.
-   The function returns `true` if the types are the same and `false` otherwise.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var isSameType = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-same-type' );

var bool = isSameType( true, false );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( 3.14, -3.14 );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( {}, [] );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( null, null );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( NaN, NaN );
// returns true

bool = isSameType( null, NaN );
// returns false

bool = isSameType( 0.0, '0.0' );
// returns false
