The difference between undefined, null and NaN in Javascript

This video covers falsey values, the identity operator and the isNaN function. I try to explain not just how Javascript behaves, but provide somewhat of a rationale for this behavior.

Summary:
undefined — The default value of a variable that has been declared but not assigned a value
null — A value meaning "nothing" or "no value" that is useful to assign to variables or return from functions
NaN — The result of an invalid mathematical operation, or failure to convert a non-numerical value to a number
equality operator (==) — Operator which does type conversion before comparison
identity operator (===) — Operator which does not do type conversion
