Can I set variables to undefined or pass undefined as an argument?

Question

I’m a bit confused about JavaScript’s undefined and null values.

What does if (!testvar) actually do? Does it test for u

Answer 1

The best way to check for a null values is

if ( testVar !== null )
{
    // do action here
}

and for undefined

if ( testVar !== undefined )
{
    // do action here
}

You can assign a avariable with undefined.

testVar = undefined;
//typeof(testVar) will be equal to undefined.
