      Description

      The result of an expression with an arithmetic operator /, *, %, ++, --, -, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, + or unary operator +, - when at least one operand is Object or Undefined will be always a NaN (Not a Number).

      Noncompliant Code Example

      x = [1, 2];
var y = x / 4;  //Noncompliant

      Exceptions

      • Date operands: they are implicitly converted to numbers.
      • The binary + operator with Object operand (concatenation).
