#If a scalar has neither a valid string nor a valid numeric value, it is undefined. 
#The defined function checks for the validity of a variable's value. 
#defined Function returns if the variable has a value and null if it does not. 
#defined Function also checks the validity of arrays, subroutines, and null strings.


$name="A";
print "OK \n" if defined $name;
