| Dec 17, 2014 at 16:26 | comment | added | Phil H | The behaviour is actually part of the IEEE754 spec for floating point behaviour, which is used in many languages (C++, Java, .Net, etc) and is the usual way to represent floating point numbers in binary. Javascript uses dynamic typing, so a variable can contain a numeric value, a string value or an object reference (e.g. an array). A NaN is still a numeric type of value, which is why its type is Number - it's not an empty string or a Null object. | |
