```smart header="The `typeof(x)` syntax"
You may also come across another syntax: `typeof(x)`. It's the same as `typeof x`.
The parentheses here aren't a part of the `typeof` operator. It's the kind of parentheses used for mathematical grouping. Usually, such parentheses contain a mathematical expression, such as `(2 + 2)`, but here they contain only one argument `(x)`. Syntactically, they allow to avoid a space between the `typeof` operator and its argument, and some people like it.
To put it clear: `typeof` is an operator, not a function. The parentheses here aren't a part of the `typeof`. It's the kind of parentheses used for mathematical grouping.
Usually, such parentheses contain a mathematical expression, such as `(2 + 2)`, but here they contain only one argument `(x)`. Syntactically, they allow to avoid a space between the `typeof` operator and its argument, and some people like it.
Some people prefer `typeof(x)`, although the `typeof x` syntax is much more common.
