Undefined vs. Undeclared
The primitive undefined value represents the absence of a value... but it's not the same thing as an "undeclared" variable!
We can create an undefined variable by giving it a name, but no value:
let favoriteSandersonCharacter; // undefined
console.log(typeof favoriteSandersonCharacter); // "undefined"
However if we never create the name, it's "undeclared", and undeclared variables actually throw an error (so don't do this):
console.log(favoriteRothfussCharacter); // ReferenceError: favoriteRothfussCharacter is not defined
The worst part is that the undeclared variable error actually says "not defined"... welcome to JavaScript. 🤦♂️
As an aside, you can use const to declare a variable that is assigned to undefined, but you wouldn't be able to set its value later, so why would you want to?
const favoriteSandersonCharacter; // SyntaxError: missing = in const declaration
const favoriteSandersonCharacter = undefined; // undefined
Assignment
Create the missing variables used in the console.log calls so that they are declared but undefined. Make sure the code runs without errors.
