Comparing NaN values for equality in Javascript

Question

I need to compare two numeric values for equality in Javascript. The values may be NaN as well. I\'ve come up with this code:

if (val1 == val2 |         


        

Answer 1

Equality comparison with NaN always results in False.

We can go for the javascript function isNaN() for checking equality with NaN. Example:

1. isNaN(123) //false

2. var array = [3, NaN];

for(var i = 0 ; i< array.length; i++){
  if(isNaN(array[i])){
      console.log("True ---- Values of " + i);
    } else {
      console.log("false ---- Values of " + i);
    }
}

Results:

false ---- Values of 0

True ---- Values of 1
