Hello,  
why did this happen?

julia\> Int16(200) == 200  
true

julia\> Int16(200) !== 200  
true

`==` and `===` mean different things in Julia.

Maybe this will help, count the number of characters in each one.

```julia
julia> Int16(200) == Int64(200)
true

julia> Int16(200) === Int64(200)
false

julia> Int16(200) != Int64(200)
false

julia> Int16(200) !== Int64(200)
true

```
