let n = isNaN(null); // 0 …returns false
let u = isNaN(undefined); // NaN …returns true
let b = isNaN(23); // 23 …returns false
let c = isNaN('45'); // 45 …returns false
let d = isNaN(new Date( )); // timestamp …returns false
let e = isNaN(' '); // 0 …returns false
let f = isNaN(' '); // 0 …returns false
let g = isNaN(new Date('28 August, 2017')); // Date String / NaN …returns true
