null: absent value marker
null represents intentional absence of a value. It is not zero, an empty string, or NaN.
Use
Use nullish() to supply a default, typeOf() to inspect data, and isNumeric() before arithmetic. NaN instead represents an invalid numeric result.
Caveat
Decide whether null means unknown, not applicable, or missing; those meanings may need different handling.
Use Null in a calculation
Enter null on a calculator line to see its built-in value, or place the name inside a longer expression. Keep any displayed unit attached when converting or combining physical quantities, and check that every other value uses a compatible dimension.
