Program to check if a variable is undefined or null in JavaScript

You can easily check if a variable Is Null or Undefined in JavaScript by applying if-else condition to the given variable.

Syntax:

if(var) {
  ....
 }

If var is null then given if condition will not execute because null is a falsy value in JavaScript, but in JavaScript there are many pre-defined falsy values like

The value null represents the intentional absence of any object value. It is one of JavaScript's primitive values and is treated as falsy for boolean operations.

function checkVariable(variable) {
 
  if(variable == null) {
  console.log('The variable is null');
  }
  else {
  console.log('The variable is neither undefined nor null');
  }
 }
 
 let newVariable;
 
 checkVariable();
 checkVariable('hello');
 checkVariable(null);
 checkVariable('12');

Output:
