Why is typeof an operator instead of a property?
<p>I'm learning Javascript and I ran across something that feels kind of "quirky".</p>

<p>Why isn't typeof a property like <code>.length</code> or <code>.name</code>?  It seems like it should be in that category.  Instead it's considered an operator sort of like an equals sign <code>=</code></p>

<p>Maybe there is an obvious explanation or I'm not understanding something (easily possible).</p>
