Test if a double-precision floating-point numeric value is NaN.
@stdlib/math-base-assert-is-nan is a utility package that provides a function to check if a value is NaN (Not-a-Number). This is useful in various mathematical and data validation contexts where you need to ensure that the values you're working with are valid numbers.
Check if a value is NaN
This feature allows you to check if a given value is NaN. The function returns true if the value is NaN and false otherwise.
const isNaN = require('@stdlib/math-base-assert-is-nan');
console.log(isNaN(NaN)); // true
console.log(isNaN(5)); // false
console.log(isNaN('hello')); // falseThe 'is-nan' package provides a similar functionality to check if a value is NaN. It is a lightweight package that offers a straightforward way to determine if a value is NaN. Compared to @stdlib/math-base-assert-is-nan, it offers a more minimalistic approach without additional utilities.
Lodash is a popular utility library that includes a function _.isNaN to check if a value is NaN. While Lodash provides a broader range of utilities beyond just checking for NaN, it is a larger library and may be overkill if you only need the NaN-checking functionality.
The 'number-is-nan' package is a ponyfill for Number.isNaN, which is a more reliable way to check for NaN values compared to the global isNaN function. It is a small and focused package, similar to @stdlib/math-base-assert-is-nan, but specifically designed to replicate the behavior of Number.isNaN.
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Test if a double-precision floating-point numeric value is NaN.
npm install @stdlib/math-base-assert-is-nan
var isnan = require( '@stdlib/math-base-assert-is-nan' );
Tests if a double-precision floating-point numeric value is NaN.
var bool = isnan( NaN );
// returns true
var isnan = require( '@stdlib/math-base-assert-is-nan' );
var bool = isnan( NaN );
// returns true
bool = isnan( 5.0 );
// returns false
@stdlib/math-base/assert/is-nanf: test if a single-precision floating-point numeric value is NaN.This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
