Introduction to JavaScript – Variables: Undefined

What happens if you create a variable, but don’t assign it a value?

JavaScript creates space for this variable in memory and sets it to undefined. Undefined is the fifth and final primitive data type. JavaScript assigns the undefined data type to variables that are not assigned a value.

Introduction to JavaScript – Variables: Undefined

[javascript]

let whatAmI;
console.log(whatAmI);

[/javascript]

OUTPUT: undefined

In the example above, we created the variable whatAmI without any value assigned to it. JavaScript creates the variable and sets it equal to the value undefined.

About the Author: Bernard Aybout

In the land of bytes and bits, a father of three sits, With a heart for tech and coding kits, in IT he never quits. At Magna's door, he took his stance, in Canada's wide expanse, At Karmax Heavy Stamping - Cosma's dance, he gave his career a chance. With a passion deep for teaching code, to the young minds he showed, The path where digital seeds are sowed, in critical thinking mode. But alas, not all was bright and fair, at Magna's lair, oh despair, Harassment, intimidation, a chilling air, made the workplace hard to bear. Management's maze and morale's dip, made our hero's spirit flip, In a demoralizing grip, his well-being began to slip. So he bid adieu to Magna's scene, from the division not so serene, Yet in tech, his interest keen, continues to inspire and convene.
