The typeof operator is a unary operator that is placed before its single operand, which can be of any type. Its value is a string indicating the data type of the operand.

The typeof operator evaluates to “number”, “string”, or “boolean” if its operand is a number, string, or boolean value and returns true or false based on the evaluation.

Here is a list of the return values for the typeof Operator.

Type	String Returned by typeof
Number	“number”
String	“string”
Boolean	“boolean”
Object	“object”
Function	“function”
Undefined	“undefined”
Null	“object”

Example

The following code shows how to implement typeof operator.

<html>
   <body>
      
      <script type="text/javascript">
         <!--
            var a = 10;
            var b = "String";
            var linebreak = "<br />";
         
            result = (typeof b == "string" ? "B is String" : "B is Numeric");
            document.write("Result => ");
            document.write(result);
            document.write(linebreak);
         
            result = (typeof a == "string" ? "A is String" : "A is Numeric");
            document.write("Result => ");
            document.write(result);
            document.write(linebreak);
         //-->
      </script>
      
      <p>Set the variables to different values and different operators and then try...</p>
   </body>
</html>

Output

Result => B is String 
Result => A is Numeric
Set the variables to different values and different operators and then try...

Python Variables and Data type

Variables are nothing but reserved memory locations to store values. This means that when you create a variable you reserve some space in memory. Based on the data type of a variable, the interpreter allocates memory and decides what can be stored in the reserved memory. Therefore, by assigning different…
