math.IsNaN()

The IsNaN() function is an inbuilt function of the math package which is used to check whether the given parameter is an IEEE 754 "not-a-number" value.

It accepts a parameter (f), and checks whether f is an IEEE 754 "not-a-number" value.

Syntax:

func IsNaN(f float64) (is bool)

Parameter(s):

• f : The value to be checked.

Return Value:

The return type of IsNaN() function is a bool, it checks whether the given parameter is an IEEE 754 "not-a-number" value.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.IsNaN() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(math.IsNaN(math.Sqrt(-3)))
	fmt.Println(math.IsNaN(math.NaN()))

	fmt.Println(math.IsNaN(math.Inf(-3)))
	fmt.Println(math.IsNaN(10))
}

Output:

true
true
false
false

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.IsNaN() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	var x float64
	var IsNaNX bool

	x = 1
	IsNaNX = math.IsNaN(x)
	fmt.Println("IsNaN(", x, ") = ", IsNaNX)

	x = 10.5
	IsNaNX = math.IsNaN(x)
	fmt.Println("IsNaN(", x, ") = ", IsNaNX)

	x = 0
	IsNaNX = math.IsNaN(x)
	fmt.Println("IsNaN(", x, ") = ", IsNaNX)

	x = math.Sqrt(-1)
	IsNaNX = math.IsNaN(x)
	fmt.Println("IsNaN(", x, ") = ", IsNaNX)

	x = math.Inf(1)
	IsNaNX = math.IsNaN(x)
	fmt.Println("IsNaN(", x, ") = ", IsNaNX)

	x = math.NaN()
	IsNaNX = math.IsNaN(x)
	fmt.Println("IsNaN(", x, ") = ", IsNaNX)
}

Output:

IsNaN( 1 ) =  false
IsNaN( 10.5 ) =  false
IsNaN( 0 ) =  false
IsNaN( NaN ) =  true
IsNaN( +Inf ) =  false
IsNaN( NaN ) =  true
