# isNaN [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url] > Test if a value is NaN.
## Installation ```bash npm install @stdlib/assert-is-nan ```
## Usage ```javascript var isnan = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-nan' ); ``` #### isnan( value ) Tests if a `value` is `NaN`. ```javascript var Number = require( '@stdlib/number-ctor' ); var bool = isnan( NaN ); // returns true bool = isnan( new Number( NaN ) ); // returns true bool = isnan( 3.14 ); // returns false bool = isnan( null ); // returns false ``` #### isnan.isPrimitive( value ) Tests if a `value` is a `NaN` primitive `number`. ```javascript var Number = require( '@stdlib/number-ctor' ); var bool = isnan.isPrimitive( NaN ); // returns true bool = isnan.isPrimitive( 3.14 ); // returns false bool = isnan.isPrimitive( new Number( NaN ) ); // returns false ``` #### isnan.isObject( value ) Tests if a `value` is a `Number` object having a value of `NaN`. ```javascript var Number = require( '@stdlib/number-ctor' ); var bool = isnan.isObject( NaN ); // returns false bool = isnan.isObject( new Number( NaN ) ); // returns true ```
## Examples ```javascript var Number = require( '@stdlib/number-ctor' ); var Symbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol-ctor' ); var isnan = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-nan' ); var bool = isnan( NaN ); // returns true bool = isnan( new Number( NaN ) ); // returns true bool = isnan( 5 ); // returns false bool = isnan( '5' ); // returns false bool = isnan( null ); // returns false bool = isnan( Symbol( 'NaN' ) ); // returns false ```
