I know a common TX is a UTXO,  in case 0x00:
push/out/op following in stack.
SIG, PUBkey, OP_DUP, OP_HASH160, ADDRESS,  OP_EQUALVERIFY, OP_CHECKSIG.
that meaning is
OP_DUP, copy PUBKEY
OP_HASH160, calculate this pubkey's address
OP_EQUALVERIFY, make sure this pubkey's address equal sender's address
OP_CHECKSIG, make sure SIG correct

but , i do not understand case 0x01:
I think there less a op_checksig?
is that meaning everyone can do spend another one's bitcoin, because do not need OP_CHECKSIG.

and aslo i do not understand case 0x02,03, 04,05 ??
what is it designed for ?

Thanks a lot!

Case 0 (0x00) is the standard Pay to pubkey hash scriptPubKey type.
Case 1 is the standard Pay to Script Hash scriptPubKey type.
Cases 2 and 3 are for Pay to Pubkey scriptPubKey types with compressed pubkeys. Compressed pubkeys begin with a 2 or a 3, hence there are two types here.
Cases 4 and 5 are for Pay to Pubkey scriptPubKey types with uncompressed pubkeys. Uncompressed pubkeys begin with a 4. Because uncompressed pubkeys are compressed for storage, they need to be decompressed for the script. 4 means that the Y coordinate of the public key was even so the even one is calculated and used. 5 means that the Y coordinate was odd so the odd one is calculated and used.
