Types ​

Check the type of a variable:

js
typeof myVar;  // 'string', 'number', 'boolean', 'object', 'undefined'

Casting:

js
const flag = Boolean(0);  // !!0 - true for empty lists and objects!

Declaration ​

js
var globalVar = 'Globally or function scoped';
let localVar = 'Block scoped';
const localConst = 'Block scoped';

Global variables can be accessed through the window variable.

js
window.hasOwnProperty('globalVar');
window.globalVar;
