Javascript !instanceof If Statement

Question

This is a really basic question really just to satisfy my curiosity, but is there a way to do something like this:

if(obj !instanceof Array) {
    //The obje         


        

Answer 1

Enclose in parentheses and negate on the outside.

if(!(obj instanceof Array)) {
    //...
}

In this case, the order of precedence is important (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Operator_Precedence). The ! operator precedes the instanceof operator.
