An improved isNumeric() function?

Question

During some projects I have needed to validate some data and be as certain as possible that it is javascript numerical value that can be used in mathematical operations.

Answer 1

function isNumber(value){
    return !isNaN(parseFloat(value)) && 
        isFinite(value.toString().replace(/^-/, '')) && 
        typeof value !== 'object';

}

or :

function isNumber(value){
    return !Array.isArray(value) && !isNaN(parseFloat(value)) && 
        isFinite(value.toString().replace(/^-/, '')) && 
        Object.prototype.toString.call(value) !== '[object Object]';
}
