Great idea of this step, would love to see it working. The framework is fantastic as well. I love it a lot!

The issue lies here, the code checks for strict equality. Whereas the exactly is being received as string (number "4"), so the type checking fails as the exactly should be a number and not a string. Converting the exactly to a number will fix the issue.
