At line one we create an array and bind it with the array
constant. Then the type of the value of this constant is evaluated by the typeof
operator.
Thereβs no such type as array
in JS, so itβs impossible to see the message ARRAY!
on the screen. In fact, all JS arrays are objects, so the execution goes into the else
branch, and SOMETHING WEIRD
is printed on the screen.
ANSWER: SOMETHING WEIRD
will be logged to the screen as all JS arrays have the type object
.

Array.isArray(array)
orarray instanceof Array
would both work πThanks for pointing it out! The main point of these code snippets is to show beginner devs their weaknesses. In my experience, at least half of the newbie devs don't know how exactly
typeof
works.Object.prototype.toString.call([]).slice(8,-1);
will also work
