Truthy Value

In JavaScript, a truthy value is any value that is considered true when evaluated in a Boolean context. Values that are not falsy are considered truthy.

Example of truthy values:

  • Any non-zero number (1,-5,3.14)
  • Non-empty strings ("hello" )
  • space value(" ")
  • Objects ({}, [])
  • The boolean true
