    return false;
  }
}

you’ve only used one “=” so it thinks you’re trying to assign “bool” to “Boolean” which is invalid

edit: more on how to use typeof with proper equals checking: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/typeof

isnt working even after using ‘==’ or ‘===’.

If you take another look at the link, you’ll see that typeof won’t return Boolean like you’re checking for. See here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/typeof#Description
