Datatypes

Datatypes

Arguably, everything is data, that's right, all objects can be considered data. JavaScript comes with some built-in datatypes, that is, objects of a particular type that represent basic and fundemental objects used in programming. The built-in datatypes are:

• String
• Number
• Boolean
• Date
• Array
• Object
• RegEx

And... we'll argue that a function is also a datatype, but dynamic in nature in that a function can be defined to return a particualar type of value:

• Function

They can also hold custom objects that YOU create!
