numpy.isinf — NumPy v1.11 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy.isinf(_x_[, _out_]) = <ufunc 'isinf'>¶

Test element-wise for positive or negative infinity.

Returns a boolean array of the same shape as x, True where x == +/-inf, otherwise False.

Parameters:	x : array_like Input values out : array_like, optional An array with the same shape as x to store the result.
Returns:	y : bool (scalar) or boolean ndarray For scalar input, the result is a new boolean with value True if the input is positive or negative infinity; otherwise the value is False. For array input, the result is a boolean array with the same shape as the input and the values are True where the corresponding element of the input is positive or negative infinity; elsewhere the values are False. If a second argument was supplied the result is stored there. If the type of that array is a numeric type the result is represented as zeros and ones, if the type is boolean then as False and True, respectively. The return value y is then a reference to that array.

Parameters:

x : array_like Input values out : array_like, optional An array with the same shape as x to store the result.

Returns:

y : bool (scalar) or boolean ndarray For scalar input, the result is a new boolean with value True if the input is positive or negative infinity; otherwise the value is False. For array input, the result is a boolean array with the same shape as the input and the values are True where the corresponding element of the input is positive or negative infinity; elsewhere the values are False. If a second argument was supplied the result is stored there. If the type of that array is a numeric type the result is represented as zeros and ones, if the type is boolean then as False and True, respectively. The return value y is then a reference to that array.

Notes

Numpy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic (IEEE 754).

Errors result if the second argument is supplied when the first argument is a scalar, or if the first and second arguments have different shapes.

Examples

np.isinf(np.inf) True np.isinf(np.nan) False np.isinf(np.NINF) True np.isinf([np.inf, -np.inf, 1.0, np.nan]) array([ True, True, False, False], dtype=bool)

x = np.array([-np.inf, 0., np.inf]) y = np.array([2, 2, 2]) np.isinf(x, y) array([1, 0, 1]) y array([1, 0, 1])
