Challenge Understanding Uninitialized Variables

When JavaScript variables are declared, they have an initial value of undefined
. If you do a mathematical operation on an undefined variable your result will be NaN
which means "Not a Number". If you concatenate a string with an undefined variable, you will get a literal string of "undefined".
Basically this means that before you do any operations with them you must assign an initial value at some point.
