What is NaN in JavaScript?
Answer:
Nan is literally "Not-a-Number". NaN usually results when either the result or one of the values in an operation is non-numeric. Even though NaN is not a number, 'console.log(typeof NaN === "number");' logs true, while NaN compared to anything else (including NaN) logs false. The only real way to test if a value is equal to NaN is with the function 'isNaN()'.
