8:15 So are we supposed to use only instanceof instead of typeof or are there any cases where we should use typeof?

[@developedbyed]

Hope this makes it clear typeof expression is the operator that lets you determine the type of expression. typeof evaluates to one of the values: 'string', 'number', 'boolean', 'symbol', 'undefined', 'object', 'function'.
typeof null evaluates to 'object', thus the correct way to use typeof to detect an object is typeof object === 'object' && object !== null.
instanceof operator let's identify the instance's constructor. object instanceof Constructor evaluates to true if object is an instance of Constructor.

[@developedbyed]

Usually use typeof for primitives, cause when you pass it an object, array, null or ehatever it will just give you back “object”
Whereas with instanceof you can check if you pass an array for ex
unction isArray(value) {
return value instanceof Array;
}
isArray([1, 2, 3]); // => true
isArray({ prop: 'Val' }); // => false

Why all my fave youtube devs use tsx for react courses? Jsx pls, I barely learned js and now everything is in ts 😂🤦🏻‍♂️
