Tests if a floating-point value is not a number (NAN).

Syntax

int isnan(
   /* floating-point */ x
); /* C-only macro */

int _isnan(
   double x
);

int _isnanf(
   float x
); /* x64 only */

template <class T>
bool isnan(
   T x
) throw(); /* C++ only */

Parameters

x
The floating-point value to test.

Return Value

In C, the isnan macro and the _isnan and _isnanf functions return a non-zero value if the argument x is a NAN; otherwise they return 0.

In C++, the isnan template function returns true if the argument x is a NaN; otherwise it returns false.

Remarks

Because a NaN value does not compare as equal to any other NaN value, you must use one of these functions or macros to detect one. A NaN is generated when the result of a floating-point operation can't be represented in IEEE-754 floating-point format for the specified type. For information about how a NaN is represented for output, see printf.

When compiled as C++, the isnan macro is not defined, and an isnan template function is defined instead. It behaves the same way as the macro, but returns a value of type bool instead of an integer.

The _isnan and _isnanf functions are Microsoft-specific. The _isnanf function is only available when compiled for x64.

Requirements

Routine	Required header (C)	Required header (C++)
isnan, _isnanf	<math.h>	<math.h> or <cmath>
_isnan	<float.h>	<float.h> or <cfloat>
