Syntax
# include <cppad/utility/nan.hpp>
b = isnan(s)
b = hasnan(v)

Purpose
It obtain and check for the value not a number nan. The IEEE standard specifies that a floating point value a is nan if and only if the following returns true
     a != a

Include
The file cppad/nan.hpp is included by cppad/cppad.hpp but it can also be included separately with out the rest of the CppAD routines.

Macros
Some C++ compilers use preprocessor symbols called nan and isnan. These preprocessor symbols will no longer be defined after this file is included.

isnan
This routine determines if a scalar value is nan.

s
The argument s has prototype
     const Scalar s

b
The return value b has prototype
     bool b
It is true if the value s is nan.

hasnan
This routine determines if a SimpleVector has an element that is nan.

v
The argument v has prototype
     const Vector &v
(see Vector for the definition of Vector ).

b
The return value b has prototype
     bool b
It is true if the vector v has a nan.

nan(zero)

Deprecated 2015-10-04
This routine has been deprecated, use CppAD numeric limits quiet_NaN in its place.

Syntax
s = nan(z)

z
The argument z has prototype
     const Scalar &z
and its value is zero (see Scalar for the definition of Scalar ).

s
The return value s has prototype
     Scalar s
It is the value nan for this floating point type.

Scalar
The type Scalar must support the following operations;

Operation	Description
a / b	division operator (returns a Scalar object)
a == b	equality operator (returns a bool object)
a != b	not equality operator (returns a bool object)

Note that the division operator will be used with a and b equal to zero. For some types (e.g. int) this may generate an exception. No attempt is made to catch any such exception.

Vector
The type Vector must be a SimpleVector class with elements of type Scalar .

Example
The file nan.cpp contains an example and test of this routine. It returns true if it succeeds and false otherwise.
