The value null is of type 'null'
The value null is of type 'object'
In JavaScript null represents the intentional absence of any object value.
In the specification null is the sole value of the Null type, nevertheless, because of legacy reasons, the expressions typeof null returns the value object:
typeof null === "object"; // trueBy assigning the value null to a variable, its type changes to object:
let num = 1;
typeof num === "number"; // true
num = null;
typeof num === "number"; // false
typeof num === "object"; // true
