Have some ways to check
1. Use to isNaN() function (best way)
This function returns true if the value is not a number and false is number.
var age = null isNaN(age) // return false var age = "age"; isNaN(age) // return false var age ="20"; isNaN(age) // return true var age = 20 isNaN(age) // return true2. Use to typeof to check the data type of value
var age = 21; if(typeof(age) === "number"){ // To do something here }3. Use to regex to check
function isNumber(val) { return /^-?[\d.]+(?:e-?\d+)?$/.test(val); } isNumber(null); // false isNumber("1"); // true isNumber(1); // true isNumber("123abc"); // false isNumber("abc"); // false isNumber(true); // false isNumber(false); // false - H0
