function f (x) {
if (x === undefined) console.log('x is undefined [x === undefined].');
else console.log('x is not undefined [x === undefined.]');
if (typeof(x) === 'undefined') console.log('x is undefined [typeof(x) === \'undefined\'].');
else console.log('x is not undefined [typeof(x) === \'undefined\'].');
// This will throw exception because what the hell is j? It is nowhere to be found.
try
{
if (j === undefined) console.log('j is undefined [j === undefined].');
else console.log('j is not undefined [j === undefined].');
}
catch(e){console.log('Error!!! Cannot use [j === undefined] because j is nowhere to be found in our source code.');}
// However this will not throw exception
if (typeof j === 'undefined') console.log('j is undefined (typeof(x) === \'undefined\'). We can use this check even though j is nowhere to be found in our source code and it will not throw.');
else console.log('j is not undefined [typeof(x) === \'undefined\'].');
};
如果我们像这样调用上面的代码:
f();
输出是这样的:
x is undefined [x === undefined].
x is undefined [typeof(x) === 'undefined'].
Error!!! Cannot use [j === undefined] because j is nowhere to be found in our source code.
j is undefined (typeof(x) === 'undefined'). We can use this check even though j is nowhere to be found in our source code and it will not throw.
如果我们像这样调用上面的代码(实际上是任意值):
f(null);
f(1);
输出将是:
x is not undefined [x === undefined].
x is not undefined [typeof(x) === 'undefined'].
Error!!! Cannot use [j === undefined] because j is nowhere to be found in our source code.
j is undefined (typeof(x) === 'undefined'). We can use this check even though j is nowhere to be found in our source code and it will not throw.
当你像这样检查:typeof x === 'undefined'时,你实际上是在问这个:请检查变量x是否存在(已定义)在源代码的某处。(或多或少)。如果你知道c#或Java,这种类型的检查永远不会进行,因为如果它不存在,它就不会编译。
var globalVar1;
// This variable is declared, but not defined and thus has the value undefined
console.log(globalVar1 === undefined);
// This variable is not declared and thus will throw a referenceError
console.log(globalVar2 === undefined);
// In this first test, the variable "myVariable1" does not exist yet so creates
// an error if we try and check if its assigned the default value of undefined!
if (myVariable1 === undefined) alert(true);// REFERENCE ERROR!
// Here we can elegantly catch the "undefined" type
// of the missing variable and stop the REFERENCE ERROR using "typeof".
if (typeof myVariable1 === "undefined") alert(true);// true
// Here we have declared the missing variable and notice its
// still an "undefined" type until initialized with a value.
let myVariable1;
if (typeof myVariable1 === "undefined") alert(true);// true
// Lastly, after we assign a value, the type is no longer
// "undefined" so returns false.
myVariable1 = 'hello';
if (typeof myVariable1 === "undefined") alert(true);// false
