JavaScript: What is the data type of null?

It is said that null, in JavaScript, is a primary type. However, when I use the operator typeof on null, it returns "Object".

What is the underlying procedure that made typeof to return "Object" instead of "Primitive" or "null"?

Solution

  • Type of null is object.

    you can check type of any variable with typeof keyword. for example 

    typeof null
