type checking and isWhat

[sparcut]

I'm interested in your methods of type checking and wondering why you use it over typeof.

I'd have to assume it's either performance or for getting type of array?

Because typeof can not check Array type. Actually, you can also use Array.isArray to check if is array, or use array.constructor === Array. For browser compatibility reason, I'm using Object.prototype.toString.call(It can also changed to x.constructor === Array/Number/Object)

Ohh I see.

But hol up ☝️, whats the point of browser compatibility if you know its only gonna be used in chrome.
