The JavaScript isNaN() Function is used to check whether a given value is an illegal number or not. It returns true if the value is a NaN else returns false. It is different from the Number.isNaN() Method.

Syntax:

Parameter Values: This method accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below: 

  • value: It is a required value passed in the isNaN() function.

Return Value: It returns a Boolean value i.e. returns true if the value is NaN else returns false.

Example: In this example, we will check various values for isNan() and the output will be in boolean format.

JavaScript
<script>     console.log(isNaN(12));     console.log(isNaN(0 / 0));     console.log(isNaN(12.3));     console.log(isNaN("Geeks"));     console.log(isNaN("13/12/2020"));     console.log(isNaN(-46));     console.log(isNaN(NaN)); </script> 

Output:
