javascript check if var is number or string code example

Example 1: javascript check if number

// 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!
}
