Example analysis of typeof and type judgment in JavaScript

typeof

ECMAScript has 5 primitive types, namely Undefined, Null, Boolean, Number and String. We all know that we can use the typeof operator to find the type of a variable, but for reference type variables only <a href="http://www.php.cn/wiki/60.html" target="_blank">object</a> will be returned. In other words, typeof can only correctly identify basic type value variables.

var a = "abc";
console.log(typeof a); // "string"var b = 123;
console.log(typeof b); // "number"var c = true;
console.log(typeof c); // "boolean"var d = null;
console.log(typeof d); // "object"var f = undefined;
console.log(typeof f); // "undefined"var g;
console.log(typeof g); // "undefined"console.log(typeof x); // "undefined"

You may ask why the typeof operator returns "object" for null values. This was actually a bug in JavaScript's original implementation, which was then adopted by ECMAScript. Now, null is considered a placeholder for an object, thus explaining the contradiction, but technically it's still a primitive value.

x actually returns "object" instead of "undefined".

var a = function() { };
console.log(typeof a); // "function"var b = [1,2,3]; 
console.log(typeof b); // "object"var c = { };
console.log(typeof c); // "object"

var a = [1,2,3,4, 5];

toString.call(a); // "[object Array]"

a instanceof Array; //true

a.constructor == Array; //true

Object.prototype.toString.call(a). The variables judged by

instanceof and constructor must be declared on the current page. For example, a page (parent page) has a frame, A page (subpage) is referenced in the frame, an a is declared in the subpage, and assigned to a variable of the parent page. When judging the variable, Array == object.constructor will Returnfalse;

var a = [1,2,3,4,5];
console.log(toString.call(a)); // "[object Array]"                     
console.log(a instanceof Array); //trueconsole.log(a.constructor == Array); //true

var obj = {};

JSON.stringify(obj); // "{}"

if(obj.id){ //如果属性id存在....}

function isEmptyObject(e) { var t; for (t in e) return !1; return !0 } //trueisEmptyObject(obj); //falseisEmptyObject({ "a":1, "b":2});
