Algorithm Boo Who

:triangular_flag_on_post: Remember to use Read-Search-Ask if you get stuck. Try to pair program :busts_in_silhouette: and write your own code :pencil:

Problem Explanation:

This program is very simple, the trick is to understand what a boolean primitive is. The programs requires a true or false answer.

Relevant Links

• Boolean

:speech_balloon: Hint: 1

• You will need to check for the type of the parameter to see if it is a boolean.

:speech_balloon: Hint: 2

• To check for the type of a parameter, you can use typeof.

:speech_balloon: Hint: 3

• Since you must return true or false you can use if statements or just have it return the boolean used for the if statement.

:beginner: Basic Code Solution:

function booWho(bool) {
  return typeof bool === 'boolean';
}

// test here
booWho(null);

:rocket: Run Code

Code Explanation:

Uses the operator typeof to check if the variable is a boolean. If it is, it will return true. Otherwise, if it is any other type it will return false.
