# FP_NORMAL, FP_SUBNORMAL, FP_ZERO, FP_INFINITE, FP_NAN

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | math

Defined in header `<cmath>` |  |
#define FP_NORMAL /*implementation defined*/ |  | (since C++11)
#define FP_SUBNORMAL /*implementation defined*/ |  | (since C++11)
#define FP_ZERO /*implementation defined*/ |  | (since C++11)
#define FP_INFINITE /*implementation defined*/ |  | (since C++11)
#define FP_NAN /*implementation defined*/ |  | (since C++11)

The `FP_NORMAL`, `FP_SUBNORMAL`, `FP_ZERO`, `FP_INFINITE`, `FP_NAN` macros each represent a distinct category of floating-point numbers. They all expand to an integer constant expression.

Constant | Explanation
`FP_NORMAL` | indicates that the value is normal, i.e. not an infinity, subnormal, not-a-number or zero
`FP_SUBNORMAL` | indicates that the value is subnormal
`FP_ZERO` | indicates that the value is positive or negative zero
`FP_INFINITE` | indicates that the value is not representable by the underlying type (positive or negative infinity)
`FP_NAN` | indicates that the value is not-a-number (NaN)
