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:
false0and-0""(empty string)nullundefinedNaN
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");
}
