JS ⟩ value ⟩ primitive ⟩ number ⟩ floating-point

the implementation of JavaScript’s Number：

• based on the “IEEE 754” standard.

• uses the “double precision” format (aka “64-bit binary”).

• all numbers are floating-point.

• all division have floating-point results.

The exponent is an 11-bit from 0 to 2047, in biased form: an exponent value of 1023 represents the actual zero. Exponents range from −1022 to +1023 because exponents of −1023 (all 0s) and +1024 (all 1s) are reserved for special numbers.

NaN

JS

// ⭐️ `NaN` is the ONLY ONE that doesn't equal to itself.
NaN === NaN,            // false❗️
NaN !== NaN,            // true❗️

isNaN('foo'),           // true❗️ (⭐️ DON'T use isNaN())

Number.isNaN('foo'),    // false (⭐️ use Number.isNaN() instead)
Number.isNaN(NaN),      // true

2 / 'foo',              // NaN
