How do you have a NaN case in a switch statement?

Question

Since NaN === NaN evaluates to false, is it possible to add a NaN case to a switch statement?

For example, let\'s say

Answer 1

You could do this (jsFiddle):

var x = "test";
switch (isNaN(x) || x)
{
    case true:
      alert("IsNaN!") 
      break; 
    case 1: 
      alert("1"); 
      break; 
    case 2: 
      alert("2"); 
      break; 
    case 4: 
      alert("4"); 
      break; 
    default: 
      alert("default"); 
      break; 
}

Or if you also want to validate string containing a number (jsFiddle):

var x = "1";
switch (isNaN(x) || parseInt(x))
{
    case true:
      alert("IsNaN!") 
      break; 
    case 1: 
      alert("1"); 
      break; 
    case 2: 
      alert("2"); 
      break; 
    case 4: 
      alert("4"); 
      break; 
    default: 
      alert("default"); 
      break; 
}
