How to check for null and undefined variables? (JavaScript)

Using a hardcoded if...else operator like this will do the trick:

   // do something else

}

But seeing the code above makes me wonder if there are any concise way to do this. Then, I stumbled upon a stackoverflow answer that answers the question in a very concise manner:
