JAVASCRIPT: Difference between UNDEFINED and NULL

Javascript Undefined vs NULL

Many a times we often get confused on whats the difference between UNDEFINED and NULL.
undefined means a variable has been declared but has not yet been assigned a value. On the other hand, null is an assignment value. It can be assigned to a variable as a representation of no value.
Also, undefined and null are two distinct types: undefined is a type itself (undefined) while null is an object.
Unassigned variables are initialized by JavaScript with a default value of undefined. JavaScript never sets a value to null. That must be done programmatically.
