# isSafeInteger

> Test if a finite [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754] is a safe integer.

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var isSafeInteger = require( '@stdlib/math/base/assert/is-safe-integer' );
```

#### isSafeInteger( x )

Tests if a finite [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754] is a safe `integer`.

```javascript
var bool = isSafeInteger( 1.0 );
// returns true
```

## Notes

-   An integer valued number is "safe" when the number can be exactly represented as a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754]. For example,

    ```javascript
    var MAX_SAFE_INTEGER = require( '@stdlib/constants/float64/max-safe-integer' );
    // returns 9007199254740991

    var x = 9007199254740992;
    // returns 9007199254740992

    var y = 9007199254740993;
    // returns 9007199254740992

    var bool = ( x === y );
    // returns true
    ```

    In this example, `x` and `y` should be distinct, but they are not due to constraints imposed by storing numeric values in [double-precision floating-point format][ieee754]. "Safe" integers are thus [double-precision floating-point numbers][ieee754] having integer values with unequivocal binary representations.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var isSafeInteger = require( '@stdlib/math/base/assert/is-safe-integer' );

var bool = isSafeInteger( -5.0 );
// returns true

bool = isSafeInteger( 2.0e200 );
// returns false

bool = isSafeInteger( 3.14 );
// returns false

bool = isSafeInteger( NaN );
// returns false
```
