Name

isnand, isnanf, finite, fpclass, unordered– determine type of floating-point number

Synopsis

#include <ieeefp.h>

int isnand(double dsrc);

int isnanf(float fsrc);

int finite(double dsrc);

fpclass_t fpclass(double dsrc);

int unordered(double dsrc1, double dsrc2);

Description

The isnand() and isnanf() functions return TRUE (1) if the argument dsrc or fsrc is a NaN; otherwise they return FALSE (0).

The fpclass() function returns one of the following classes to which dsrc belongs:

FP_SNAN

signaling NaN

FP_QNAN

quiet NaN

FP_NINF

negative infinity

FP_PINF

positive infinity

FP_NDENORM

negative denormalized non-zero

FP_PDENORM

positive denormalized non-zero

FP_NZERO

negative zero

FP_PZERO

positive zero

FP_NNORM

negative normalized non-zero

FP_PNORM

positive normalized non-zero

The finite() function returns TRUE (1) if the argument dsrc is neither infinity nor NaN; otherwise it returns FALSE (0).

The unordered() function returns TRUE (1) if one of its two arguments is unordered with respect to the other argument. This is equivalent to reporting whether either argument is NaN. If neither argument is NaN, FALSE (0) is returned.

None of these functions generates an exception, even for signaling NaNs.
