What specific section or headline is this issue about?
Math 2
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
const finalNumberCheck = isNaN(finalNumber) === false ? 'finalNumber is a number type. Well done!' : `Ooops! finalNumber is not a number.`;
What did you expect to see?
is NaN Return value true if the given value is NaN after being converted to a number; otherwise, false.
And because we shouldn't convert the value '4633.33' to number ourselves instead of the learner, we could use typeof
`
const finalNumberCheck = typeof finalNumber === "number" ? 'finalNumber is a number type. Well done!' : `Ooops! finalNumber is not a number.`;
