Undefined JS

What is undefined?

Undefined is a property with global scope. Undefined is a variable in global scope; its initial property is undefined. Undefined means a variable with no value assigned. Sometimes a function can also return the value undefined when the variables in it don't contain any value. Also, a function returns undefined when it doesn't return any value.

    Using typeof operator

    var y; if(typeof x === undefined) { //This will get execute } else { //This do not execute }

    let c;

    console.log(c) //will return undefined
