Why are these different?

typeof 0/0 === 'number' // returns false

while 

value = typeof 0/0;
typeof value === 'number';  // returns true

Thanks!!

    First seems to eval as `(typeof 0)/0` so it's `NaN` and not equal to `'number'`. Second is `typeof NaN` and you get `'number'`. – fuyushimoya Nov 09 '15 at 10:25

    Thanks. The reason one is false while the other is true is because of the order of operation (like fuyushimoya wrote). – Itai Noam Nov 09 '15 at 11:52
