## Description

A falsy value is something which evaluates to FALSE, for instance when checking a variable. There are only six falsy values in JavaScript: `undefined`, `null`, `NaN`, `0`, `""` or `''` (empty string), and `false` of course.

You can also get the boolean value of a variable by using the bang operator (`!`) twice:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
!!variable // When the variable is falsy, a double bang (!!) will evaluate to the Boolean false.
