Function createNumber

Create a number from a number-like value.

• If the value is a number, it is returned as-is.
• If the value is a bigint, it is converted to a number.
• If the value is a string, it is interpreted as a decimal number.
• If the value is a hex string (i.e., it starts with "0x"), it is interpreted as a hexadecimal number.

This validates that the value is a number-like value, and that the resulting number is not NaN or Infinity.

Example

const value = createNumber('0x010203');
console.log(value); // 66051

const otherValue = createNumber(123n);
console.log(otherValue); // 123

Returns

The created number.

Throws

If the value is not a number-like value, or if the resulting number is NaN or Infinity.
