Is there a better way to get the type of a variable in JS than typeof? It works fine when you do:
> typeof 1
"number"
> typeof "hello"
"string"
But it’s useless when you try:
> typeof [1,2]
"object"
>r = new RegExp(/./)
/./
> typeof r
"function"
I know of instanceof, but this requires you to know the type beforehand.
> [1,2] instanceof Array
true
> r instanceof RegExp
true
Is there a better way?
