_isnan

Checks given double-precision floating-point value for not a number (NaN).

int_isnan(doublex**);**

Routine Required Header Compatibility

Return Value

_isnan returns a nonzero value (TRUE) if the argument x is a NaN; otherwise it returns 0 (FALSE).

Parameter

x

Double-precision floating-point value

Remarks

The _isnan function tests a given double-precision floating-point value x, returning a nonzero value if x is a NaN. A NaN is generated when the result of a floating-point operation cannot be represented in Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) format. For information about how a NaN is represented for output, see printf.
