JavaScript はどのようにして型を判断するのでしょうか? (コード例)

console.log(typeof 2); // number
console.log(typeof "2"); // string
console.log(typeof true); // boolean
console.log(typeof [2]); // object
console.log(typeof {name:2});// object
console.log(typeof function(){return 2});// function
console.log(typeof new Date());// object
console.log(typeof null); // object
console.log(typeof undefined);// undefined

 var getType = Object.prototype.toString;
var res = getType.call(2);
res = getType.call("2");
res = getType.call(true);
res = getType.call([2]);
res = getType.call({name:2});
res = getType.call(function(){});
res = getType.call(new Date());
res = getType.call(null);
res = getType.call(undefined);

[object Number]
[object String]
[object Boolean]
[object Array]
[object Object]
[object Function]
[object Date]
[object Null]
[object Undefined]
