Introduction to JavaScript: First Steps

There are two more variable types that we should discuss.

# `undefined`

`undefined` is meant to represent the idea that something doesn't exist. When we try to use a variable that has no value, we get `undefined`. Here's an example.

let variable;
console.log(variable); // -> undefined

When we declare a variable using `let` but don't give it a value, it receives the default value of `undefined`. This is JavaScript telling us that we're trying to use something that isn't there.

**`undefined` is a special variable type used to indicate that something is missing.** If we see it, it usually means something is wrong with our code.

For example, we'd have no reason to use a variable if we haven't given it a value, so when we do try to use it, JavaScript gives us `undefined`.

We can use it ourselves and assign the value to variables directly.

Learn two more variable types in JavaScript: null and undefined. Learn what they represent, how they differ, and how to use them.
