javascrtip check if string is number code example

Example 1: javascript check if number

//Updated dec 2020
// The first 2 Variations return a Boolean
// They just work the opposite way around

// IsInteger
if (Number.isInteger(val)) {
	// It is indeed a number
}

// isNaN (is not a number)
if (isNaN(val)) {
	// It is not a number
}

// Another option is typeof which return a string
if (typeof(val) === 'number') {
	// Guess what, it's a bloody number!
}

Example 2: js check if string is int

function isNumeric(str) {

	// Check if input is string
	if (typeof str != "string")
    	return false

	// Use type coercion to parse the _entirety_ of the string
    // (`parseFloat` alone does not do this).
	// Also ensure that the strings whitespaces fail
	return !isNaN(str) && 
		!isNaN(parseFloat(str)) 
}
