The best way to initialize a number in JavaScript is to initialize variables while declaring them. Through this, you can easily avoid undefined values.
Example
You can try to run the following code to initialize a number −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script>
var deptNum = 20, id = 005;
document.write("Department number: "+deptNum);
</script>
</body>
</html>
