> Test if a value is a [symbol][mdn-symbol].

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var isSymbol = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-symbol' );
```

#### isSymbol( value )

Tests if a value is a [symbol][mdn-symbol].

```javascript
var Symbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol/ctor' );

var bool = isSymbol( Symbol( 'beep' ) );
// returns true

bool = isSymbol( Object( Symbol( 'beep' ) ) );
// returns true
```

#### isSymbol.isPrimitive( value )

Tests if a `value` is a primitive [symbol][mdn-symbol].

```javascript
var Symbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol/ctor' );

var bool = isSymbol.isPrimitive( Symbol( 'beep' ) );
// returns true

bool = isSymbol.isPrimitive( Object( Symbol( 'boop' ) ) );
// returns false
```

#### isSymbol.isObject( value )

Tests if a `value` is a [`Symbol`][mdn-symbol] object.

```javascript
var Symbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol/ctor' );

var bool = isSymbol.isObject( Symbol( 'beep' ) );
// returns false

bool = isSymbol.isObject( Object( Symbol( 'boop' ) ) );
// returns true
