Example 1: Test if a variable is undefined:

var x;
if (typeof x === "undefined") {
    console.log("x is undefined");
} else {
    console.log("x is defined");
}

Output:

x is undefined

Example 2: Test if a not declared variable is undefined:

if (typeof x === "undefined") {
    console.log("x is undefined");
} else {
    console.log("x is defined");
