What does the term 'Falsy' mean in programming, and how to identify such values?

The term "Falsy" in programming refers to values that are considered false (false) when converted to a boolean type. In languages like JavaScript (Node.js), this allows such values to be used in conditional statements.

Typical "Falsy" values in JavaScript include:

• false
• 0 (zero)
• '' or "" (empty string)
• null
• undefined
• NaN (not a number)

Example:

if (!value) {
  console.log('Falsy value');
}

If value is one of the listed falsy values, the condition will be true.

To determine if a value is falsy, you can simply check it in a condition or explicitly convert it to a boolean using Boolean(value).
