Check if a variable is of function type

Question

Suppose I have any variable, which is defined as follows:

var a = function() {/* Statements */}; 

I want a function which checks if the type of the variable is function-like. i.e. :

function foo(v) {if (v is function type?) {/* do something */}}; foo(a); 

How can I check if the variable a is of type Function in the way defined above?

Answer 1

if (typeof v === 'function') {     // do something }
