typeof returns a string, so check against one
typeof(1) == 'number' // true
// or better without ( ), since you don't need them here
typeof 1 == 'number' // true
and it should be fine. More background info on typeof : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/typeof
