JavaScript is a popular programming language used to create interactive web pages and dynamic web applications. One of the essential operators in JavaScript is typeof
, which allows developers to determine the data type of a variable or expression.
The syntax for typeof
is as follows:
typeof operand
where operand
can be any variable or expression in JavaScript.
The following are examples of using typeof
in JavaScript:
typeof 42; // "number"
typeof "Hello, World!"; // "string"
typeof true; // "boolean"
typeof undefined; // "undefined"
typeof null; // "object"
typeof []; // "object"
typeof {}; // "object"
typeof function(){}; // "function"
When used with undefined
, null
, arrays ([]
), and objects ({}
), typeof
returns "undefined"
, "object"
, and "object"
, respectively. This is because arrays and objects are considered special types of objects in JavaScript.
typeof
is a powerful operator in JavaScript that allows developers to determine the data type of any variable or expression. By using typeof
, developers can write more robust and efficient code, as they can check for the correct data type before performing any operations on it.
