只是出于好奇。
typeof NaN是number似乎不太符合逻辑。就像NaN === NaN或NaN == NaN返回false。这是JavaScript的特性之一吗，或者有什么原因吗?
编辑:谢谢你的回答。然而，让人明白这不是一件容易的事情。阅读答案和维基我明白了更多，但仍然，一句话像
与NaN的比较总是返回无序结果，即使是与NaN本身比较也是如此。比较谓词是信号或非信号，信号版本表示此类比较的无效异常。等式和不等式谓词是非信号，因此x = x返回false可用于测试x是否为静态NaN。
让我头晕目眩。如果有人能把它翻译成人类(而不是数学家)可读的语言，我会很感激。

typeof NaN返回'number'，因为:
ECMAScript spec says the Number type includes NaN: 4.3.20 Number type set of all possible Number values including the special “Not-a-Number” (NaN) values, positive infinity, and negative infinity So typeof returns accordingly: 11.4.3 The typeof Operator The production UnaryExpression : typeof UnaryExpression is evaluated as follows: Let val be the result of evaluating UnaryExpression. If Type(val) is Reference, then If IsUnresolvableReference(val) is true, return "undefined". Let val be GetValue(val). Return a String determined by Type(val) according to Table 20.

从类型的角度来看，NaN是一个数字，但不是像1、2或329131这样的普通数字。“不是一个数字”的名字指的是表示的值是特殊的，是关于IEEE格式规范领域，而不是javascript语言领域。
如果使用jQuery，我更喜欢isNumeric检查类型:
console.log($.isNumeric(NaN)); // returns false
console.log($.type(NaN)); // returns number

这只是因为NaN是JS中Number对象的一个属性，它与它是否是一个数字无关。
NaN值实际上是Number。因此，当你问它是否是一个数字时，它会说是的。使用isNaN()调用是正确的。
作为信息，NaN也可以通过对未定义的数字(如除零或负数的平方根)的操作返回。
