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

Found another way using Array.prototype.includes MDN link. Apparently, [NaN].includes(NaN) returns true for NaN.

function IsActuallyNaN(obj) {
  return [obj].includes(NaN);  
}

Or we can go with davidchambers' solution which is much simpler.

function IsActuallyNaN2(obj) {
  return obj !== obj;
}
