isNumber
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).
typescript
const isNumber = (val: any) => typeof val === "number" && val === val;
typescript
isNumber(1); // true
isNumber("1"); // false
isNumber(NaN); // false
