ISNAN(3)                NetBSD Library Functions Manual               ISNAN(3)


NAME
isnan -- test for not-a-number
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> int isnan(real-floating x);
DESCRIPTION
The isnan() macro determines whether its argument x is not-a-number (``NaN''). An argument represented in a format wider than its semantic type is converted to its semantic type first. The determination is then based on the type of the argument.
RETURN VALUES
The isnan() macro returns a non-zero value if the value of x is a NaN. Otherwise 0 is returned.

STANDARDS
The isnan() macro conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').
CAVEATS
On VAX the isnan() function always returns 0, as the architecture doesn't support NaN. NetBSD 9.4_STABLE September 27, 2017 NetBSD 9.4_STABLE
