Complex Data Type in JavaScript includes the typeof 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.
Example
You can try to run the following code to learn how to work with typeof operator in JavaScript −
<html> <body> <script> <!-- 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> </body> </html>
