nanf
float nanf (const char* tagp);
Generate quiet NaN (float)
Returns a quiet NaN (Not-A-Number) value of type float.
The NaN values are used to identify undefined or non-representable values for floating-point elements, such as the square root of negative numbers or the result of 0/0.
The argument can be used by library implementations to distinguish different NaN values in a implementation-specific manner.
Similarly, nan and nanl return NaN values of type double and long double, respectively.
Parameters
- tagp
- An implementation-specific C-string.
If this is an empty string (""), the function returns a generic NaN value (the same as returned by passing "NAN" to strtof).
Return Value
A quiet NaN value.
