The Null keyword is used to define the Null type in TypeScript, but it is not useful because we can only assign a null value to it. It represents uninitialized variables in TypeScript and JavaScript. It has only one value, which is undefined. The undefined keyword defines the undefined type in TypeScript, but it is not useful because we can only assign an undefined value to it.

Definitions contradict: "absence of value" vs "has not been assigned a value". Isn't it the same? I disagree with this answer. Null and undefined are both distinct datatypes.
For all other objects user-defined objects , it always returns '[object Object]' If that last part is the case the stringified version of the variable being '[object Object]' and the parameter returnConstructorBoolean is true , it will try to get the name of the constructor by toString -ing it and extracting the name from there. If the constructor can't be reached, 'object' is returned as usual. Gust van de Wal 4, 1 1 gold badge 20 20 silver badges 43 43 bronze badges.

If I receive a null I know the value was set to null on purpose — Stevenfowler I'll explain undefined , null and Uncaught ReferenceError : 1 - Uncaught ReferenceError : variable has not been declared in your script, there is no reference to this varaible 2 - undefined : Variable declared but does not initialised 3 - null : Variable declared and is an empty value.
Echo null ; Oops! Consider the following: WScript. Crowder k gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Richard H Richard H It is important to note, that while undefined may mean that a variable has not been declared, but does not guarantee that. A variable can be declared as var thing; and it will be equal to undefined. So what are some of the JavaScript-specific issues that arise due to this philosophical basis? NaN Using a variable that has never been declared and receiving a ReferenceError Using a let or const defined local variable in its temporal dead zone and receiving a ReferenceError Empty cells in sparse arrays.
Ray Toal Ray Toal Best answer! Thank you, and yes, that misconception that something is undefined only if it has not been declared or has not yet been given a value is so rampant and it is really hard to get across to people though I keep trying.
So many people trash JavaScript for having both null and undefined but these values do have completely distinct meanings and for the most part they work well with their intended meanings IMHO of course.

String If you know a variable is only a string while all lifecycle, by convention, you could initialize it, to "" : ""? All If you know a variable has a mixed type any type while all lifecycle , by convention, you could initialize it, to undefined.

If you call test without an argument, it will be undefined. Update for There are now seven primitives types. Symbol and BigInt were added since this answer was written.

Alireza Alireza For the undefined type, there is one and only one value: undefined.
For the null type, there is one and only one value: null. So for both of them, the label is both its type and its value. The difference between them. For example: null is an empty value undefined is a missing value Or: undefined hasn't had a value yet null had a value and doesn't anymore Actually, null is a special keyword , not an identifier, and thus you cannot treat it as a variable to assign to.
Valeriy Katkov Valeriy Katkov Generally we assign null to variables not undefined. Brad Koch Praveen Praveen 1, 2 2 gold badges 19 19 silver badges 37 37 bronze badges. Per Ryan Morr's thorough article on this subject That value is null Both are similar but usage and meaning are different. I want to add a very subtle difference between null and undefined which is good to know when you are trying to learn Vanilla JavaScript JS from ground up: null is a reserved keyword in JS while undefined is a variable on the global object of the run-time environment you're in.
Most databases use "null" just because they don't have an "undefined" type. But the meaning really just is "undefined".
Because of that, you can never know if a "null" value really means deliberate absence. Therefore "null" cannot really mean the deliberate choice of "missing value". It is undecidable in general. As a consequence, semantically , "null" and "undefined" are exactly the same thing in practice.
Here are the guidelines that make it possible: avoid direct undefined type guards e. Instead, use indirect type guards aka truthiness checks e.
