Question about of
Hi,
I just have a question about the use of "of"
The strict is-equal-to operator automatically returns false if the values are not of the same type.
Please consider the sentence highlighted above. Basically I can guess meaning of the sentence without "of" between "not" and "the" and the sentence with of is the same. So following statment may be true.
if the values are not of the same type == if the values are not the same type.
I wonder what's the real difference between two sentences?
p.s. Also I often see something like this: I am of ~~~ , It will be of ~~~.
Thanks.

There is no difference in meaning. 'Of' is optional but it is more formal. I cannot comment on your PS without complete sentences.
