How can type equality impact the functionality of a loop in Smarty?

Type equality can impact the functionality of a loop in Smarty if the comparison operator used in the loop condition does not account for type. This can lead to unexpected behavior or errors in the loop execution. To ensure type equality, it is important to use the strict comparison operator (===) instead of the loose comparison operator (==) when comparing variables in the loop condition.

{foreach $items as $item}
    {if $item.id === 5}
        // Do something
    {/if}
{/foreach}
