Check if an object literal is an 'object'

Question

Why does the if statement not work, typeof says obj is an object.

var obj = {};
console.log(typeof obj);

if(obj === 'object') { console.log('working');}

Answer 1

It should be

if (typeof obj === 'object') 

for checking if the type is an object.

 var obj = {}; document.write(typeof obj + '<br>'); if (typeof obj === 'object') { document.write('working'); } 

Answer 2

Try:

if (typeof obj === 'object')

or

if (typeof obj == 'object')
