How to test if a parameter is provided to a function?

Question

I was wondering, can you create a function with an optional parameter.

Example:

function parameterTest(test)
{
   if exists(test)
   {
     alert(\'t         


        

Answer 1

null == undefined is true

if (arg == null){
    // arg was not passed.
}

Code example:

var button = document.querySelector("button");

function myFunction(arg){
  if(arg == null){
    alert("argument was not passed.");
  } else {
    alert("argument " + arg + " was passed.");
  }
}
