How many data types are there in JS, and what are they?

Question

I started reading a book, Javascript for Kids. In it the author states that there are three data types:

• numbers
• strings
• booleans

Answer 1

The latest ECMAScript standard defines eight data types, namely: Seven data types that are primitives: Boolean, Null, Undefined, Number, BigInt, String, Symbol and Object For more information, refer: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#BigInt_type
