What's the console output for:
console.log(null == undefined);
true
"==" is used to compare values. null and undefined have exactly the same values.
What's the console output for:
console.log(null === undefined);
false
"===" is used to compare the value and the type. null and undefined have the same value but not the same type.
What's the console output for:
var test = NaN;
console.log(typeof test);

var test = null;
console.log(typeof test);
"object"
null is of type object.
What's the console output for:
var test = undefined;
console.log(typeof test);
"undefined"
Is the following example working?
var test = 10;
console.log(test);
test = '5';
console.log(test);
yes, it works! It's possible to change types of an existing variable in JavaScript.
Is the following code working?
test = 10;
console.log(test);
var test;
yes, it's going to work. This behavior is called hoisting.
What is the output for:
console.log(NaN == NaN);
false
There's a special rule in JS which says that NaN is never similair to NaN.
What is the output for:
console.log(0 == null);
false
null can't be compared in JavaScript.
There's just one exception: console.log(undefined == null) would be true.
