Explain different data types used in JavaScript.
Data types basically specify what kind of data can be stored and manipulated within a program. JavaScript provides different data types to hold different types of values. There are two types of data types in JavaScript.
a) Primitive data types
b) Non-primitive (reference) data types
Primitive Data Types
Primitive data types can hold only one value at a time. There are five types of primitive data types in JavaScript. They are as follows.
| Data Types | Description | 
| String | It represents sequence of characters. Eg. “Hello” | 
| Number | It represents numeric values. Eg. 12 | 
| Boolean | It represents Boolean value either false or true | 
| Undefined | It represents undefined value | 
| Null | It represents null, ie, no value at all | 
Non Primitive Data types
Non-primitive data types can hold collections of values and more complex entities. The non-primitive data types are as follows.
| Data Types | Description | 
| Object | It represents instance through which we can access members | 
| Array | It represents group of similar values | 
| RegExp | It represents regular expression |
