08/24/2021, 1:17 PMOntologically curious, but makes sense. NaN is the result of numerical operations, so having it be a number seems like a reasonable design choice.

08/24/2021, 2:21 PMWell NaN itself is a number, that's what Sandii is saying. It indicates that your value is not a number, but NaN itself is. I get what you mean tho. isNumber() is hardly a good indicator of numericity in the mathematical sense. In the categorical/typing sense tho, isNumber(NaN) === true makes perfect sense.

08/24/2021, 2:23 PMI probably should have read the docs closer; the example includes
util.isNumber(Nan) //returns trueehcanadian
