const isGrouping =  isArray || isObject || isNull
const isCheck = !isGrouping ? typeof data : isGrouping

const isTypeData = ['number','string','array','symbol','object','undefined','null','function', 'boolean']
const isMatch = isTypeData.indexOf(isCheck)
const isResult = isTypeData[isMatch]
return isResult
}
