    This looks like JavaSCRIPT to me. What kind of explanation would you like for all this? What each row does?

    And why do you need this explaining?

    // Json

    Basically what happens is you pass a string into the method called IsNumber.

    The method loops through every single character in this string and checks it towards the array of numbers "0123456789".

    If the character is not in that list it will assume that the string you passed into the method is not a number.

    It then returns true or false depending on the result of the loop.

    Something to be cautious of with this method though is that it claims to check for numbers but it would say true for a decimal point number.
