JS: isNaN

isNaN is a global function object.

[see JS: the Global Object]

isNaN ( number )

Converts number to number first, and return true if it is NaN, else, false.

(NaN is a primitive value of number type that represents “not a number”.)

[see JS: NaN]

console.log ( isNaN ( NaN ) ); // true
console.log ( isNaN ( "NaN" ) ); // true

console.log ( isNaN ( "3" ) ); // false
console.log ( isNaN ( 3 ) ); // false
console.log ( isNaN ( Infinity ) ); // false

Number.isNaN and the global isNaN are different.

isNaN converts argument to number first. Number.isNaN does not.
