Hi! Tell me please,are there any way to check whether number is NaN?

pure nothrow trusted bool isNaN(real x); Returns !=0 if e is a NaN. ------------------- Seems like a slight documentation disagreement. Shows bool prototype but description says returns !=0Tell me please,are there any way to check whether number is NaN?http://dlang.org/phobos/std_math.html#isNaN

But if you really don't want to: float x = ...; if (x != x) { writeln( "x is NaN" ); } I'm unsure how aggressive the optimizer is allowed to be in cases like this. Theoretically it could assume x is always equal to x, but I'd think it's not allowed to for floats. If you're wondering how a float value could compare different to the exact same value, consider that this would otherwise be true: sqrt(-1) == 0/0 -- Simen
