What does 'type', and 'typeof', do ingame?

After reading off of devforum and developer.roblox.com, here's what I found.

Type(variable) is the Native Lua version and finds the type of the variable you put in. It can return:

“nil” (a string, not the value nil), “number”, “string”, “boolean”, “table”, “function”, “thread”, and “userdata”.

Typeof(variable) is the Roblox version and can find other Roblox types such as (but not limited to)

"Vector3", "Instance", nil (the value), and normal types like "number" and "string"
