The **is‑answer‑to‑the‑ultimate‑question‑of‑life‑the‑universe‑and‑everything** package is a tiny Node.js library that simply checks whether a given value equals the number 42, returning `true` only for the exact numeric 42 (other types or values return `false`). It can be used as a regular function in JavaScript projects or via a command‑line interface (`npx … 42`). The tool is aimed at developers who want a playful, one‑line utility to reference the famous Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy joke.
