      Depends on the programming language. In JavaScript, it literally means that like the key or variable does not actually exist. Whereas like in C/C++, writing random bytes to random memory addresses would result in “undefined behaviour” which means basically anything could happen.

        In Javascript you can do let a = undefined, defining the variale a as undefined.

        A significant difference to defining it as null is that typeof null == "object", while typeof undefined == "undefined".
