A NaN compares not equal, not greater than, and not less than every value, including itself. Passing a NaN to an operation generally results in NaN.
Because a NaN always compares not equal to itself, to test whether a floating-point value is NaN, use its is
property instead of the equal-to operator (==
). In the following example, y
is NaN.
