Null is a javascript one of the data type.
Below is the ways to test whether a value is null or not.
When we are initialize a variable in javascript, the default value is null
var variable; console.log(variable) // null
If we are assigned null to a variable, the value of variable is null like below
var variable = null; console.log(variable) // null
Check a variable is null or not using if condition.
if(variable == null){ // write somthing }
or
if(variable === null){ // write somthing }
The difference between above both conditions are “==” and “===”.
== is nothing but comparing two values only.
=== is nothing but comparing two values and type also.
We can also write condition like below for more accuracy.
if(variable === null && typeof variable === "object"){ // }
Basically type of the null variable is object.
We can also write condition like.
if(variable){ // which means the variable is not null }else{ // the variable is null }
We can also comparing null with 0
if(null !== 0){ // the value is true }
or
if(null === 0){ // the value is false }
