bool isnan( float arg ); | (1) | (since C++11) |
bool isnan( double arg ); | (2) | (since C++11) |
bool isnan( long double arg ); | (3) | (since C++11) |
bool isnan( Integral arg ); | (4) | (since C++11) |
1-3) Determines if the given floating point number
arg is a not-a-number (NaN) value. 4) A set of overloads or a function template accepting the
from argument of any integral type. Equivalent to (2) (the argument is cast to double). Parameters
| arg | - | floating point value |
Return value
true if arg is a NaN, false otherwise.
Notes
There are many different NaN values with different sign bits and payloads, see std::nan and std::numeric_limits::quiet_NaN.
NaN values never compare equal to themselves or to other NaN values. Copying a NaN may change its bit pattern.
Another way to test if a floating-point value is NaN is to compare it with itself: bool is_nan(double x) { return x != x; }
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cfloat>
int main()
{
std::cout << std::boolalpha
<< "isnan(NaN) = " << std::isnan(NAN) << '\n'
<< "isnan(Inf) = " << std::isnan(INFINITY) << '\n'
<< "isnan(0.0) = " << std::isnan(0.0) << '\n'
<< "isnan(DBL_MIN/2.0) = " << std::isnan(DBL_MIN/2.0) << '\n'
<< "isnan(0.0 / 0.0) = " << std::isnan(0.0/0.0) << '\n'
<< "isnan(Inf - Inf) = " << std::isnan(INFINITY - INFINITY) << '\n';
}Output:
isnan(NaN) = true isnan(Inf) = false isnan(0.0) = false isnan(DBL_MIN/2.0) = false isnan(0.0 / 0.0) = true isnan(Inf - Inf) = true
