There are 8 basic data types in JavaScript.
number for numbers of any kind: integer or floating-point, integers are limited by ±253. bigint is for integer numbers of arbitrary length. string for strings. A string may have one or more characters, there’s no separate single-character type. boolean for true/false. null for unknown values – a standalone type that has a single value null. undefined for unassigned values – a standalone type that has a single value undefined. object for more complex data structures. symbol for unique identifiers. The typeof operator allows us to see which type is stored in a variable.
Two forms: typeof x or typeof(x). Returns a string with the name of the type, like “string”. For null returns “object” – this is an error in the language, it’s not actually an object.
