DESCRIPTION¶
Floating point numbers can have special values, such as infinite or NaN. With the macro fpclassify(x) you can find out what type x is. The macro takes any floating-point expression as argument. The result is one of the following values:- FP_NAN
- x is "Not a Number".
- FP_INFINITE
- x is either positive infinity or negative infinity.
- FP_ZERO
- x is zero.
- FP_SUBNORMAL
- x is too small to be represented in normalized format.
- FP_NORMAL
- if nothing of the above is correct then it must be a normal floating-point number.
- isfinite(x)
- returns a nonzero value if
- isnormal(x)
- returns a nonzero value if (fpclassify(x) == FP_NORMAL)
- isnan(x)
- returns a nonzero value if (fpclassify(x) == FP_NAN)
- isinf(x)
- returns 1 if x is positive infinity, and -1 if x is negative infinity.
CONFORMING TO¶
C99, POSIX.1.NOTES¶
In glibc 2.01 and earlier, isinf() returns a nonzero value (actually: 1) if x is positive infinity or negative infinity. (This is all that C99 requires.)SEE ALSO¶
