One Reply to "JavaScript <code>typeof</code>: Understanding type checking in JavaScript"

  1. Thank you for your blog. It has been very useful to me to understand “typing” in JavaScript.
    However your getType(value) function in “Generic type-checking” is not working, the regex expression is incorrect. You should replace it by
    let regex = /^\[object\s(\S+?)\]$/;
