couple of items to add...:-)

typeof will return data type of a variable if its not the instance of a predefined object.for example below are theexamples fo JS objectes.
var arr = new Array()
typeof arr will be object
var date = new Date()
typeof date will return object,
not the Date or Array.

On the other hand

numbers ,strings and boolean values are returned as they are,e.g
typeof Math.ceil(2.6) will return number
typeof true will return boolean
and typeof "js" will return string..

I hope this helps
