isinf

isinf

Defined in header <math.h>
#define isinf(arg) /* implementation defined */		(since C99)

Determines if the given floating point number arg is positive or negative infinity. The macro returns an integral value.

FLT_EVAL_METHOD is ignored: even if the argument is evaluated with more range and precision than its type, it is first converted to its semantic type, and the classification is based on that.

Parameters

arg

-

floating point value

Return value

Nonzero integral value if arg has an infinite value, ​0​ otherwise.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <float.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    printf("isinf(NAN)         = %d\n", isinf(NAN));
    printf("isinf(INFINITY)    = %d\n", isinf(INFINITY));
    printf("isinf(0.0)         = %d\n", isinf(0.0));
    printf("isinf(DBL_MIN/2.0) = %d\n", isinf(DBL_MIN/2.0));
    printf("isinf(1.0)         = %d\n", isinf(1.0));
    printf("isinf(exp(800))    = %d\n", isinf(exp(800)));
}

Possible output:

isinf(NAN)         = 0
isinf(INFINITY)    = 1
isinf(0.0)         = 0
isinf(DBL_MIN/2.0) = 0
isinf(1.0)         = 0
isinf(exp(800))    = 1
