Is it possible to cast NaN from "NaN" (string) ( using toFixed() )

Question

So I got why to fixed returns a String, with this in mind is it possible to cast the "NaN" string into NaN to keep the following expression workable?

var numberWithPrecission = (1*"A").ToFixed(2) || 0;

Exactly as stated in the question... with the exact same question I linked — Jonathan DS, Jun 11 '13 at 14:03
You should probably test for `NaN` at the earliest point possible (on the `"A"`) instead of trusting that it is a number and testing for `NaN` later down the line. — jbabey, Jun 11 '13 at 14:05

As suggested:

var numberWithPrecission = (1*"A" || 0).toFixed(2);

`parseFloat(whatever.toFixed())` doesn't make sense – georg Jun 11 '13 at 14:05
