Returns true if the value is a number. comprehensive tests.
To understand some of the rationale behind the decisions made in this library (and to learn about some oddities of number evaluation in JavaScript), see this gist.
Install with npm
$ npm i is-number --save
var isNumber = require('is-number');
See the tests for more examples.
