How to fix NaN in C++ code example
Example: cpp nan value
What is NaN ?
NaN, acronym for “Not a Number” is an exception
which usually occurs in the caseswhen an expression
results in a number that can’t be represented.
For example square root of negative numbers.
// C++ code to demonstrate NaN exception
#include<iostream>
#include<cmath> // for sqrt()
using namespace std;
int main()
{
float a = 2, b = -2;
// Prints the number (1.41421)
cout << sqrt(a) << endl;
// Prints "nan" exception
// sqrt(-2) is complex number
cout << sqrt(b) << endl;
return 0;
}
Output:
1.41421
