NAME
     isnan - test for NaN

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
     #include 

     int isnan(double x);


     c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
     #include 

     int isnan(real-floating x);


DESCRIPTION
     In C90 mode, the isnan() function tests whether x is NaN.


     In C99 mode, the isnan() macro determines whether its  argu-
     ment  value is NaN. First, an argument represented in a for-
     mat wider than its semantic type is converted to its  seman-
     tic type. The determination is then based on the type of the
     argument.

RETURN VALUES
     Both the isnan() function and macro return non-zero  if  and
     only if x is NaN.

ERRORS
     No errors are defined.

WARNINGS
     In C99 mode, the practice of explicitly supplying  a  proto-
     type for isnan() after the line

       #include 



     is obsolete and will no longer work.
