Null type checks is not considered by the tests length

There is a problem with countTypesInArray function (4-count-types.js). The tests require a solution to be 200 signs max, but in this case, we kinda lose the check for nulls.

As you know null in JavaScript has a type of object. Thus, the implementation you require will count objects but not nulls. So, the function is not suitable for checking all the JS types.

I clearly understand that such a check can be done using a ternary operator but it's not convenient and intuitive enough.

The implementation below considers this JS's quirk:

const data = [
  false,
  'a',
  22,
  'hey',
  undefined,
  42,
  12,
  true,
  { a: 12 },
  { name: 'Jack' },
  'foo',
  'bar',
  true,
  null,
  undefined,
  Symbol('a'),
  null
];

const countTypesInArray = data => {
  const h = {};
  for (const item of data) {
    if (typeof item === 'object' && item === null) {
      h['null'] = 1;

      if (h['null'] > 0) {
        h['null']++;
      }
    } else if (typeof item in h) {
      h[typeof item]++;
    } else {
      h[typeof item] = 1;
    }
  }
  return h;
};

console.log(countTypesInArray(data));

So, maybe you should consider an option for making tests a little bit more loose for null checks.

Start by reading 4-count-types.js and the associated tests to understand how countTypesInArray is currently constrained to 200 characters. Decide from the issue discussion whether null should be counted explicitly or whether the test expectation should change, then verify that the chosen behavior is covered without violating the exercise’s length requirement.
