Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the underscore.js contrib library to be installed. Underscore.js contrib library can be installed using npm install underscore-contrib .
Example 1:
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); // Checking console.log( "The Value is Numeric : " + _.isNumeric(10000)); |
Output:
The Value is Numeric : true
Example 2: An array will always return false.
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); // Checking console.log( "The Value is Numeric : " + _.isNumeric([1,10])); |
Output:
The Value is Numeric : false
Example 3:
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); // Checking console.log( "The Value is Numeric : " + _.isNumeric(2.333)); |
Output:
The Value is Numeric : true
Example 4: A string containing numeric value will return true.
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' ); // Checking console.log( "The Value is Numeric : " + _.isNumeric( "1000" )); |
Output:
The Value is Numeric : true
