Objective-C - float checking for nan

I have a variable float slope that sometimes will have a value of nan when printed out since a division by 0 sometimes happens.

I am trying to do an if-else for when that happens. How can I do that? if (slope == nan) doesn't seem to work.

Two ways, which are more or less equivalent:

if (slope != slope) {
// handle nan here
}

#include <math.h>
...
if (isnan(slope)) {
// handle nan here
}

(man isnan will give you more information, or you can read all about it in the C standard)

Alternatively, you could detect that the denominator is zero before you do the divide (or use atan2 if you're just going to end up using atan on the slope instead of doing some other computation).

Nothing is equal to NaN — including NaN itself. So check x != x.

 if(isnan(slope)) {


yourtextfield.text = @"";
//so textfield value will be empty string if floatvalue is nan
}
else
{
yourtextfield.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.1f",slope];
}

Hope this will work for you.

In Swift, you need to do slope.isNaN to check whether it is a NaN.
