ISINF(3)	       FreeBSD Library Functions Manual 	      ISINF(3)

NAME

isinf, isnan, isnanf -- test for infinity or not-a-number

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h> int isinf(double); int isnan(double); int isnanf(float);

DESCRIPTION

The isinf() function returns 1 if the number is ``infinity'', otherwise 0. The isnan() and isnanf() functions return 1 if the double or float (respectively) is ``not-a-number'', otherwise 0.

SEE ALSO

math(3) IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, Std 754-1985, ANSI.

BUGS

Neither the VAX nor the Tahoe floating point have distinguished values for either infinity or not-a-number. These routines always return 0 on those architectures. FreeBSD 4.9 January 29, 1994 FreeBSD 4.9
