isnan(n)

Args

n: A number

Returns

1 if this is a numeric value but is an invalid “not a number” (NaN); 0 otherwise

Some math operations return the special number NaN if they’re undefined, such as dividing 0 by 0. This tells you if a number is that type.

NaN is never greater than, less than, or equal to another number, even itself.
