typeof

I was just checking, but why is the typeof of this is an object

<input type="checkbox" name="express" data-day-and-time="Wednesday 1pm-4pm" data-cost="100">
 const dayTime = checkboxInput[i].getAttribute('data-day-and-time');
        console.log(typeof dayTime);

Shouldn't it be a String?

It does return "string" when I try it. But this code isn't complete, it may have something to do with the part you have not shown.
