isnormal

macro
isnormal(x)
function
bool isnormal (float x);
bool isnormal (double x);
bool isnormal (long double x);
Is normal
Returns whether x is a normal value: i.e., whether it is neither infinity, NaN, zero or subnormal.

In C, this is implemented as a macro that returns an int value. The type of x shall be float, double or long double.
In C++, it is implemented with function overloads for each floating-point type, each returning a bool value.

Parameters

x
A floating-point value.

Return value

A non-zero value (true) if x is normal; and zero (false) otherwise.

/* isnormal example */
#include <stdio.h>      /* printf */
#include <math.h>       /* isnormal */

int main()
{
  printf ("isnormal(1.0)    : %d\n",isnormal(1.0));
  printf ("isnormal(0.0)    : %d\n",isnormal(0.0));
  printf ("isnormal(1.0/0.0): %d\n",isnormal(1.0/0.0));
  return 0;
}


Output:

isnormal(1.0)    : 1
isnormal(0.0)    : 0
isnormal(1.0/0.0): 0
