Understanding JavaScript Truthy and Falsy

Question

Can someone please explain JavaScript Truthy and Falsy, using the below sample data. I have read other threads but still confused.

var a = 0;

var a = 10 ==

In short there are only 6 types of falsy values: You can use this snippet to test them:

function isTruthy(val){
    if(val){
        console.log(val + ' is Truthy');
    }else{
        console.log(val + ' is falsy');
    }
}
    

// all below are truthy
isTruthy (true)
isTruthy ({})
isTruthy ([])
isTruthy (42)
isTruthy ("0")
isTruthy ("false")
isTruthy (new Date())
isTruthy (-42)
isTruthy (12n)
isTruthy (3.14)
isTruthy (-3.14)
isTruthy (Infinity)
isTruthy (-Infinity)

//all below are falsy
isTruthy(0);
isTruthy("");
isTruthy(false);
isTruthy(NaN);
isTruthy(null);
isTruthy(undefined);
