Issue in comparing number like 121 >= 50 , expected result true but getting false

[mupadhyaya]

Hi there,

I found the problem while working on testing >= comparison operator. In while comparing 121 >= 50 it always return false and we can see it should be true.

Is there anything I am missing? I am using Angular 9 and I believe it is the issue related with typescript. If anywhere I am incorrect please advise me for the correction.

`import { Component, TrackByFunction } from '@angular/core';

@component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {

constructor(

) {}

ngOnInit() {
let value1 = "121";
let value2 = "50";
let flag = value1 >= value2; // 121 >= 50 => true
console.log(${value1} >= ${value2} expected: true, output:, flag);
}`

It seems like its intentional to move towards strongly typed language. Apology for not following the bug template, just was in hurry while writing the concern.
