Javascript Type of Operator
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...
