# isunordered

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | numeric‎ | math

Defined in header `<math.h>` |  |
#define isunordered(x, y) /* implementation defined */ |  | (since C99)

Determines if the floating point numbers `x` and `y` are unordered, that is, one or both are NaN and thus cannot be meaningfully compared with each other.

### [edit] Parameters

x | - | floating point value
y | - | floating point value

### [edit] Return value

Nonzero integral value if either `x` or `y` is NaN, ​0​ otherwise.

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>

    int main(void)
    {
        printf("isunordered(NAN,1.0) = %d\n", isunordered(NAN,1.0));
        printf("isunordered(1.0,NAN) = %d\n", isunordered(1.0,NAN));
        printf("isunordered(NAN,NAN) = %d\n", isunordered(NAN,NAN));
        printf("isunordered(1.0,0.0) = %d\n", isunordered(1.0,0.0));

        return 0;
    }

Possible output:

    isunordered(NAN,1.0) = 1
    isunordered(1.0,NAN) = 1
    isunordered(NAN,NAN) = 1
    isunordered(1.0,0.0) = 0
