How to use the ‘typeof’ operator In Javascript
Here, ‘typeof‘ operator returns the string ‘undefined’ if the variable has not been assigned a value.
// Declare a variable
let myVariable;
// Condition to check variable is defined or not
if (typeof myVariable === "undefined") {
console.log("myVariable is undefined");
} else {
console.log("myVariable is defined");
}
Output
myVariable is undefined
How to check for “undefined” value in JavaScript ?
In JavaScript, undefined is a primitive value that represents the absence of a value or the uninitialized state of a variable. It’s typically used to denote the absence of a meaningful value, such as when a variable has been declared but not assigned a value. It can also indicate the absence of a return value in a function or the absence of a defined property in an object. Understanding undefined is crucial for writing robust and error-free JavaScript code.
There are a few ways to check for ‘undefined’.
- Using the ‘typeof’ operator
