Truthy & Falsy Values in JavaScript

Booleans are TRUE and FALSE. That's a simple concept. But what other things would be considered "Falsy"? Are there other things that would never return true in an if statement.

MDN Falsy reference: developer.mozi...

Thansk for making this video for us. I feel this is one of the underlooked concept of JavaScript, not many people watches it. I was literally baffled me when I was building a project for practice.

Thank you for all the positive effects your tutorials brings on me. You definitely changed something in my attitude in learning.

[@CameronChardukian]

Easy to understand. Thanks for sharing. I've been watching a lot of your videos as I work my way through the FCC curriculum.

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Good luck with FCC. They actually use my video on Google fonts on their KZbin channel.

Really Healthy javascript Topics thumbs up.

Hey Steve! Kickass job man! Thanks! A challenge for you: could you please give like 5 more examples of this, each getting a little bit more complex than the previous one; jusssssssssssssst a little bit complex. We are beginners and would probably won't understand very complex examples anyway. This challenge will help us understand how can we use this true/false thing at our own!

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

There are hundreds of examples throughout my other videos

[@JesusSaves-007]

Clear and easy to understand. Truthy. Subscribed.

Thank you for the video. When to use log()? Is it the same as console.log() ?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Log is my shorthand variable for console.log. look at the top of the file.

Thank you

[@jkk9829]

that's a simple concept, but what is the purpose of giving values to be either truthy or falsy? great video, btw;))

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

if statements, ternary statements, switch case statements etc. Whenever you need your program to make a decision about something. The if statement etc need to be able to evaluate anything as a yes or no condition - truthy or falsey.
