Can you explain the difference between null and undefined in JavaScript?
Sure! In JavaScript, 'null' is an intentional absence of any object value, while 'undefined' means a variable has been declared but not assigned a value.
So, if I declare a variable but don't assign it, it will be undefined?
Exactly! For example, if you do 'let x;', x will be undefined. But if you do 'let y = null;', y is explicitly set to have no value.
Are there any situations where I should use one over the other?
Yes! Use 'null' when you want to intentionally clear a variable, and use 'undefined' to check if a variable has been declared.
Thanks! That makes it clearer.
