type of Date object
<p>I just read <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_type_conversion.asp" rel="noreferrer">this article</a> on W3Schools about type conversion in JS. There stands:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>There are 3 types of objects:</p>
<ul>
<li>Object</li>
<li>Date</li>
<li>Array</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>This confused me because to my knowledge there isn't any difference between <code>Date</code> objects and any other object (<code>typeof (new Date())</code> returns <code>&quot;object&quot;</code>). First I thought that it's special because it contains native code, but there are dozens of functions with native code.</p>
<p>Is this article wrong? Or could anybody tell my why the <code>Date</code> object is so extraordinary that it's considered a separate type of object?</p>
