isunordered

Defined in header <math.h>
#define isunordered(x, y) /* implementation defined */
(since C99)

Determines if the floating point numbers x and y are unordered, that is, one or both are NaN and thus cannot be meaningfully compared with each other.

Parameters

x - floating point value
y - floating point value

Return value

Nonzero integral value if either x or y is NaN, ​0​ otherwise.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    printf("isunordered(NAN,1.0) = %d\n", isunordered(NAN,1.0));
    printf("isunordered(1.0,NAN) = %d\n", isunordered(1.0,NAN));
    printf("isunordered(NAN,NAN) = %d\n", isunordered(NAN,NAN));
    printf("isunordered(1.0,0.0) = %d\n", isunordered(1.0,0.0));
 
    return 0;
}

Possible output:

isunordered(NAN,1.0) = 1
isunordered(1.0,NAN) = 1
isunordered(NAN,NAN) = 1
isunordered(1.0,0.0) = 0
