Why is angular.isNumber() not working as expected?

In JavaScript, typeof NaN === 'number'.

If you need to recognise a String as a Number, cast it to Number, convert back to String and compare this against the input, for example.

function stringIsNumber(s) {
    var x = +s; // made cast obvious for demonstration
    return x.toString() === s;
}

stringIsNumber('95.55'); // true
stringIsNumber('foo'); // false
// still have
stringIsNumber('NaN'); // true
