Checks if the given argument is a number.
|
|
|
|
- Use `typeof` to check if a value is classified as a number primitive.
|
|
- To safeguard against `NaN`, check if `val === val` (as `NaN` has a `typeof` equal to `number` and is the only value not equal to itself).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const isNumber = val => typeof val === 'number' && val === val;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
isNumber(1); // true
|
|
isNumber('1'); // false
|
|
isNumber(NaN); // false
|
|
```
