Answer from AI

In programming, values considered truthy are those that evaluate to true when converted to a boolean type.

In JavaScript (and Node.js), all values are considered truthy except for the so-called "falsy" values:

  • false
  • 0 and -0
  • "" (empty string)
  • null
  • undefined
  • NaN

All other values, including non-empty strings, numbers, objects, arrays, and functions, are considered truthy.

Example:

if ("hello") {
  console.log("This is a truthy value");
}

if ([]) {
  console.log("Empty array is also truthy");
}

if (0) {
  console.log("This will not be printed because 0 is a falsy value");
}
